If that were true I would think that knowledge would be more widespread.

What is the point of quarantining if 90% are unaffected carriers? There would be no point because all boas would be exposed to it regardless, the ones lacking the genes to counter it would die off and there would be no way to stop it.

That theory also defies instances where IBD has supposedly wiped out full/near full colonies/collections. If it affected such a small percentage that statisticly shouldnt happen.

P.S. - Some, Jeff Ronne in particular, dont "believe" in IBD. I really dont know what to think about it. I will just keep doing what I do (quarantining for 6-12 months) and hope I steer clear of it.
