Nidovirus
Hello everyone, so I have a dilemma. Last year I bought two ball python from BHB and they ended up being Nidovirus positive. Currently they have been dead for a few months, the first one dying in January and the other being put down in March, and one other that I adopted that was also put down. I took care of a friends snake (who is now my snake and was purchased at the Arlington show in Feb. ) every weekend until March 23rd when, even though there was minimal contact, I decided to cease all contact completely (even though I was using lysol and disinfecting wipes). Me and my vet still had no proof that it was Nido until I received positive results in March. I left the friends snake with them for awhile until I disinfected everything and it had been about a month since my last snake who was sick was put down. I tested the new girl before I brought her in my home and the results came back negative, however, I don't know how long Nidovirus takes to show up on tests. So my dilemma is, it's been about a month since her test came back negative, but I was wondering if anyone knew how long it took a RNA virus to show up on a PCR test. Also, the last animals I had that were "exposed" were crested geckos and a cornsnake (who I tested and it came back negative and he's still doing great, but in his own room now) but I would also like to ease the thought that my Crested gecko could have it, even though he's perfectly healthy in my book. Thanks you!
