I think Tom and I remember many years ago the effect it had on Burmese, mostly. Late 70's, before it was called IBD. All we knew then was that it was deadly, and that very few animals survived it. I had one Burmese survive, with neurological problems afterwards. I forget when Elliot Jacobson started his work on it. It wiped out whole collections of Boids.
By the time the "stargazing" manifested itself, the animals was as good as dead. Which is why it scares people who have similar kinds of genetic defects in Spider Ball Pythons and the Jaguar Carpets.
I think I'm a bit older than Tom, lol...but not much.
