I agree with the other post.... Where are the babies? To me that is a huge concern. They may be carriers. From the books I've read it may take more than a year for symptoms to show.

From the literature I've read, pythons have less resistance to IBD than boas. They normally show symptoms much faster.



Some people put down their snakes by freezing them. They go to sleep....then gone. I don't know how much the vet would charge you. I would recommend putting them all down unfortunately. Even the babies if you still have them. If you don't have them, try to let the new owners know what has happened. Hopefully they followed quarentine procedures. The longer you have infected snakes the more chance you have of spreading the disease to some one else's collection.



I'm sorry for your loss.
