hey, ive got a snake that may have died of IBD and i run a herp rescue, i want to send him off for testing to be sure so i can be aware with future rescues.
my local exotic vet is only in the office part time, i have left him a message, but this boy died today and so as soon as i can i need to get him sent off.
thanks for any info
sorry if you see this on other forums, i just need any ideas

University of Florida does the most research on IBD, but when the zoo I work for offered them a large collection of Corallus that was at least partially infected they refused the animals. They might be a start though.

on a small note i have spoken to a local vet when one of my maclots was found dead one morning, if you freeze the dead animal they are not able to test for it, that was what i was told anyways.
