Well as u said mites can be vectors and transmit diseases throughout your collection. What are failing to accept is that the other animals in your care if they carried IBD they would have been dead long before he got there. A little school for you, spotted pythons and ball pythons die so quick of IBD that when the disease was prevalent many large breeders would place them in enclosures with boas in order to determine whether or not they carried IBD. When exposed pythons usually died within days not weeks or months. You continue to make a diagnosis of a disease that requires a necropsy to determine and still refuse to even acknowledge that it is probably something else than IBD. Furthermore you state you KNOW how to properly care for the animal but yet in the time you had it you were unable to control the mites and never had improvement of its health and can't even tell us what kind of chemical that you applied to the animal. Heck it could have been that "medicine" that caused the decline.
