Yes they do get it and actually die very quickly. Boas can have the disease and hang on for years but ball pythons usually succumb within weeks or months at most. I've known some boa keepers who have used ball pythons as a test to see if their boas had IBD.

>>I have not heard anyone having a ball python with IBD. Anyone ever had a ball python that got IBD??

>> Actually, with so much talk about quarantining your new arrivals......I want to hear some horror stories. Who has had a healthy ball that got sick after exposed to a new arrival???

>> I keep all my ball pythons in separate cages, but what are the chances of them catching the kooties just because I have a new ball in the same room with them???

>>Thanks,

>>Bryan
