no cedar

my herp vet said if it were 'environmentally based' the baby snakes would be the first to go.

I thought about the food but it all comes from rodentpro frozen, very few virus' survive freezing , bacterium do ( anthrax, the prions in bovine spongiform encepholitis/BSE/mad cow).

The water is city water, not well water. The rapdity of the onset of death is the startling thingg. It looks like high-speed IBD. All the largest retic breeders ( retic ranch, Prehistoric say they have never seen a case of IBD but my vet says he sees four a year, almost always ball pythons.

The literature says to place each snake in a different room that has seperate air systems ( zoos cannot even do this)

The african was placed on ice and sent to Unv of Florida for a complete pathology work up.

all I can do is wash my hands between handlings. I spray the feed boxes with clorox after they are used.
