    Gave a call and the guy on the phone answered all the questions I had about the procedures. Ordered a small set of swabs so I can get the both of them tested, going with the two panels for Arena/Nido/Orphinian (I haven't heard of that last one before but it's part of the package deal) and crypto.

    You sure don't want your snakes to have ophidian (ie. "snake version") paramyxovirus.

    According to the link it tends to affect certain hot species the most, probably why I haven't heard of it until now.

    Yes, but it's been mentioned on this forum before, & honestly, it's been around for a long time. I'm sure our vets know about it, even if they don't see it daily. They rarely see IBD either, but for some reason that has had a lot more discussion on forums like ours.

    I finally got the samples collected and shipped to the lab today. Zebes wasn't too bad with collecting the oral swab but Hoco is so small with my giant fingers that it was utterly nerve-wracking. Was only just able to swap his upper mandible to get the sample I was so nervous but hopefully it was enough.

    Good news, I just read the test results and both my boys are negative across the board!

    That's a relief! While chances were in their favor, you just never know unless you test.
