I keep only boas, BRB's and BCI's. I do know others that keep both boa's and pythons in the same room. IBD is a constant worry for all of us. I'd be willing to bet everyone of us has noticed a snake making some wierd movement and had our hearts skip beat!!!

Like the others have said, buying from a reputable source is the best protection you can get. Of course the problem is some/many/most ? of the new guys are just fine to deal with, just more of an unknown. ASK QUESTIONS and by all means listen to your "spidey sense" (Spiderman two was on TV the other night) If anything the seller says sounds wrong, untrue or misleading - RUN!!!
