Well, I called my old boss today and discussed some of the research that I had done as well as what she had looked up.

There is no way Gary had a necropsy done. Which is very bothersome to me.

My boss told me that he had taken the snake into the store the week before to show it off and buy some food for it. Luckily, she does not have any boids in the store currently. She realizes that the disease can be airborne, but I don't know if she has disinfected anything....but I don't know if the snake actually touched anything while in the store, either.

So from what I have been reading, it is basically possible to handle a snake a reptile show and then transfer it to your own snakes. Course I take a shower after every show I go to before going around my own pets. I'm sure that not everyone else does this.

This, to me, is really scary.
