Bloated Sand Boa

I agree with your vet...IBD is very unlikely. You can't rule it out based on your other snakes showing no symptoms though, as all snakes don't progress with the illness at the same pace. Maybe he just had a 'tummy ache'? I really hope he gets back to normal.

Update!

Cairo is doing great! He is completely back to normal.

I fed him a newborn pinky rat last Wednesday, which he took with great enthusiasm! He defecated normally a few days later. When I checked in on him last night, he gripped me tightly with his back end! No weakness or difficulty moving through my fingers!

I am quite relieved! I wish I knew what it was, but I am so glad to see him back to his normal self.
