    I'd personally do a PCR for viruses. Ferlavirus is a possible suspect, and serpentovirus does infect colubrids -- rarely, so far as we know currently, but research on this viral group is very new.

    I'll definitely bring a PCR test up to the vet at his next appointment since he's only been tested for bacterial stuff, and I'll also ask if there's reasonable suspicion in terms of some sort of issue that a scan could detect. Thanks!
