I lost my 1st and most special boa, a brazilian rainbow, because of IBD. I had her from when she was a hatchling to 7 feet long!! She was such a lovie and I miss her to this day!!
I used worked with someone who had imported a GORGEUS male. He (told me he did anyways, who knows) took him to the vet and quarantined him for a month. I gave her over to him, they were in together for 2 weeks. When I took her home she didn't eat. I took this as a sign that she was gravid. She was dead within the month. She literally just shrivilled up and there was nothing I could do for her. It still hurts my heart to this day!
Come to find out almost half of his collection died unexpectedly also. IBD is a HUGE deal. Not to be taken lightly!!
