boas and ibd

[Skiploder]

I'm also going to go and say that I know many large scale boa breeders who've had collections for longer than I've most likely been alive.
Here's a nice write up on Pete Kahl's site, probably the world's largest boa breeder:


You have symptoms in your collection? Where did you acquire the boas? How old were they? What were your quarantine procedures? Did you ever have any breakout of mites in your collection? Why would you use (even if disinfected with 9 tons of bleach) a rack that may have ha a "airborne" infected snake in it at any given time for any other snake?

1. I have symptoms in my collection. Whether it's IBD or not remains to be seen............

2. Until I know what I've got - I'm not discussing the name of the breeder. I'd give you the same courtesy.

3. The boas were acquired about 5 years ago they were about 11 months old at the time. My last python was acquired 16 months ago.

4. The symptoms came after the boas were moved.

5. No mites.

Where are you going with this Jimi?
