IBD has been a cause of panic for quite a while and there are still no hard statistics (that I am aware of, please someone prove me wrong!) showing that it is even mildy prevalent in the herp world. Don't be so quick to think your boa has IBD. Also, most vets wouldn't know Inclusion Body Disease from Irritable Bowel Disorder or Investors Business Daily. Boas tend to stretch up and in fact mine does it all the time when she has fouled the cage. I come in and see her trying to get away from the smell and its how I know that a St. Bernard has visited her enclosure. Best of luck and I hope it all works out for you.Originally Posted by ssscales
