This is what my Vet told me over a phone conversation about IBD when I first got into Boas. He said, "Look, 90% of the snakes I have treated have tested positive as carriers of IBD, only about 10% showed any physical form of the disease. I would not be supprised if most of the boas bought and sold online were carriers. With the exception of some breeders, everyone has used females that more than likely carry. Therefore I don't think that anyone anywhere could claim that none of their boas are carriers. As far as testing animals, you can be the one who knows his/her animals are carriers, or the one who claims they are not carriers."

Now, this is what I'm taking from him, so don't get all personal on me (like some of you love to do).

You may have your head on straight, but I have a better view!
