Jeremy,
I would like to thank you and everyone else for all the information and the time it took you all these last couple of days to provide it. I think the posts over the last few days have some of the most information I have seen on the Boa Forum in a long time. I have lurked on this forum for several years posting pics and questions here and there. Having dealt with IBD on two occasions, I do believe it to be a threat, not only to large-scale breeders but also to hobbyists like myself.
I posted the web link for Dr. Jacobson because he was the only Dr. that I was aware of working on identifying this disease. Are you aware of ongoing research being conducted now and how the reptile community as a whole could donate to this cause? You mentioned Cal Berkley and Dr. Stahl but did not state whether they were conducting research that we could all possibly contribute to. It is amazing the amount of people into reptiles now days and I am sure many of them would give to a just cause if provided with information.

On a lighter note, could you post some pictures of your “boawoman” hypos. My female is due in April and I was wondering if you have breed yours yet and the outcome if you have.
Thanks,
Steve
