I'll never be 100% sure as to how the disease ripped through my collection like it did. Most of the new snakes I've ever gotten were greeted with a fresh from the store enclosure.
I can't remember if I posted this in the last post, but the garter snake I have that is now dying is living in the enclosure the baby regal puked up a meal in.
There are no other snakes in my collection showing symptoms, and since all the enclosures are disposed of except for one, I'm pretty sure I've beat it. (Knock on wood lol)
I rarely ever freeze WC prey items, such as neonate snakes.. The last couple of times I caught a snake to feed to another and I froze it first, the snake that was supposed to eat it never did. So I basically killed a snake for no reason. By not freezing them, if something refuses them I could just let them go. But hardly anything in my collection refuses live snakes.  ----- Mike
