YOU are not a vet there are many symptoms that can resemble IBD, the truth of the matter is IBD is pretty rare and sadly too many people like yourself go and read symptoms online and all of the sudden diagnose their animal with the worth disease possible they can find, well I guess since some people do the same to themselves (hypochondriacs) why not?
Wow. Literally everyone else in this thread demonstrated more tact, and sympathy and still got a better point across than you. You added nothing to this thread other then to insult me and insinuate that I want him to have the worst possible disease because, what, attention? I didn't go running into the store banging pots and pans screaming the black plague is infecting the store's snakes.

I went in there quietly, talked to the manager and told him everything that happened with the snake. I told him my thoughts on it and what I thought it was but that it wasn't diagnosed yet and that it would be a good idea for them to do so cause if true, their own stock and breeder they're buying from could potentially be infected.

I just wanted to make this thread to get support just like anyone else does when they make this type of thread, and helpful advice is always a plus. But your post, was nothing but spiteful.

Thank you to everyone else though for having enough respect and human decency during a time like this to not take potshots at me, and offer actual advice. Sorry if this post comes off a little heated but I literally lost this snake today and I'm still trying to mourn over him. And whenever we lose pets, we always have that little thought in the back of our mind wondering if you could have done something better. I'll try and get back with them with the results.
