Skip- It is truly unfortunate for anyone to have any problems with any pet, snake, or animal they have purchased. You must understand that if you DO have IBD, which it isn't stated that you do or don't, then you are a very low percentage and should not be speaking for every boa or python or collector on the internet who practices strict quarantine procedures. It is a much higher risk of someone passing internal parasites throughout a collection then it is to have a snake carry IBD unknown for that long. Internal parasites can also cause devastating results and whatnot without treatment.
We've looked into OPMV and crypto also.

Again, IBD is not a given in my case..............but almost everything else has been ruled out. It's a waiting game at this point.

Without inflaming the issue any further, I'll PM you with some additional info. One thing I have learned about IBD is that the vets that have a different view on it's potential prevalence and their frustration at trying to diagnose the disease in live animals.
