I hear that boas can live 30 years in captivity, but I have not seen anyone post pictures of one anywhere near that old. Is that because of IBD? I heard that 1/2 of the imported boas have IBD, so is that why it is rare to see one older than 10, or am I really wrong and many of you out there have older boas but you just don't post pictures of them? Thanks
