I know of a person that bred African Bush Vipers (Atheris sp.) and had to have a colony of his East African Sandboas put down. He sent off a couple of pairs to be euthanized and tested, all which indicated positive for IBD. He did house both species in the same facility. Supposedly; and don't quote me on this; Atheris sp. are sporadic(may or may not be infected) natural host(carriers) of the IBD virus.
Just a heads up.
