Ashley you are contradicting yourself again...

From here:

our vet that we use believes that inclusions were formed due to the pneumonia that was shown in the tox report and not IBD related considering no other snakes are sick or have been sick or had any issues and the other snakes that passed due to other reasons did not show any signs of any other issues or inclusions in any brain, liver or intestine tissues...

It's already been established that testing negative for IBD does not necessarily CLEAR your collection.

My vet believes the inclusions found were due to the pneumonia and NOT IBD... And considering I have had tox done on several tissues in 3 other snakes that had actually been there BEFORE and DURING the time the BCL was in the same house that had NO inclusions, INCLUDING 2 pythons that would have shown it before a boa would, and probably would have died due to it if it was there at all in the first place tells me and my vet agrees, that the BCL died from the pneumonia, not IBD... And speaking of pythons... Why would my pythons be alive still anyway if there was IBD? Pythons die within WEEKS of being exposed... And all my pythons are still here except the 2 that died due to other issues and had tox reports done on them after their deaths that showed NO inclusions...

First of all, you claim to have tox reports on the 3 other snakes that died within the past year since you received a positive diagnosis of IBD..now you are saying you haven't had any tests done.

Secondly, I don't know where you found all this misinformation about Pythons and IBD. I've found 2ndhand accounts and speculation regarding it in forums, but that's where regurgitating information without researching a problem for oneself can lead to a WORLD of problems.
