Hi,
Just putting in my two cents, but I've ready MANY different theories, ranging from airborne carriers to that it takes direct contact with feces or sexual activity. The best thing to do is test the snake that seems to have the problem (which you are doing) if he in fact, is infected... then to have the others tested as well. There may be a chance that if they can only contract from contact or other intimate means, that they are perfectly fine. I think testing is the only for sure way to know. I have found a lot of information on the web, and it is more common than people seem to realize, and has of course, made me much more careful myself with my husbandry.
Good luck and be sure to keep us, or at least me ;p, updated... it is something you can't know too much about!
Steph S.
