The virus outbreak in several collections here in Australia, including mine has been diagnosed as a previously unknown form of reovirus.
More corpses will be tested in due course, including we hope from the Australian Reptile Park (ARP) (at Gosford) to hopefully test the hypothesis that the virus (in our case) actually came from them.
So far the ARP have been uncooperatve and in fact hostile to us, bue we are still hoping for reason to prevail and for them to be part of the solution to the problem, not a part of it.
A short paper was published on the virus a while back and more will be as further information comes to light.In the interim - go to:
