YES
I HAVE asked Ashley, since her "opinion" on the IBD report changed to doubting the presence of IBD,
"WHY was there no follow-up on the Bad Guy thread against the seller??"
Her reply:

Actually, by accusing Dean initially, SHE brought them in..but whatever.

So an animal with a questionable background..
Was the owner just not feeding them?? or was it sick and not eating??

It IS HIGHLY rare in snakes. It's not REAL common in dogs, but not unheard of. Again, IBD COULD have played a role in this snake's death. Yvonne's been notified of the potential, but I have no idea what her plans are right now. If I get wind she's selling snakes I'll point out there's testing needed since Ashley has posted info suggesting IBD, poor QT and mites.

Again...starvation? or anorexia? Questionable background of a snake and it's health.
This is the first we heard of "starvation" being the cause of death here. I believe this is the same snake that had chlamydia present as well, if my memory serves me right. I'm too tired to look back.
I agree Hank, IBD could have come in anywhere, and it could still be a factor in the above deaths.
IBD tests were not performed on ALL the deceased snakes, so there's no way to say whether it was actually present, subclinical, or non-existant.
Ashley has represented herself as a reputable snake breeder, who only has quality animals, and just from the above statements regarding the Retic & Burm, that is NOT true.
