    It won't hurt him to be in a larger home, as long as he has cover. He's doing great, looks like. But as far as possibly harboring any deadly viruses to share w/ other snakes, yes he can. Sorry. Not saying it's "likely" but certainly possible. It's thought that colubrids can at least carry IBD, even if they don't themselves get sick.

    And of course IBD is only one deadly snake disease, not the only one out there to worry about.
