I'm sorry to hear about your dilemma, but don't throw the towl in yet. Did you ever handle his snake or the inside of its enclosure and then come into contact with any of your snakes? For future reference, keep some unscented hand sanitizer where you keep your enclosures. It is a life saver...literally.

Now that you mention it...I read a few articles way back on a different forum for Boas. Apparently there is a big stink over the Green Burms. I guess a lot of them are dying in just the way you mentioned, but it isn't IBD...it's something in their genes. A lot of Burm lovers are urging to stop breeding the morphs. Did your friend get a necropsy done? I believe IBD can only be 100% confirmed through a necropsy.

I know it is mean, but hope that it was a genetic thing and not IBD. I'm not allowed to post the link to the forums on here, but if you PM me I can direct you to the thread. Good luck.

It's been called burm disease.
It's something genetically wrong with green burms according to what I have read on the subject. Very few live past their third year. From what I gather it's not contagious but it appears that a large percentage of green burms die.
RTB.net is a good source of info on burm disease.
It has not been proven, or disproven if this actually exists, but it makes you think when it's tied to one type of burm mutation and they appear to die out of the blue.
If anything, it is an interesting topic.
