I hate to say it Ashley but that vet report does nothing to exclude IBD. Some of the symptoms mentioned in the history are associated with IBD and certainly it could have contributed to this animal needing to be put down. Since you have a boa whose necropsy was positive for inclusions and at least one python dead with IBD type issues I would be very cautious and very nervous.

Read Adyra's first post very carefully. This disease can take very different paths to manifest itself, and it seems that boas can be asymptomatic for a long time.

It sucks to be in that position but what else can you do? It is good that you have not seen anything recently but in all honesty you are not out of the woods yet.

I would lock everything down if I were you. Nothing in nothing out and hope for the best.

Good luck!

Adyra, my sympathies. I do not know how I would be if I were in your shoes, it must be very rough.
