Allen is a very nice guy to deal with. I have not purchased anything from him recently. However, I did purchace (3) different Ball pythons from him on different occasions between 6-10 months ago. Guess what, All animals are still perfectly healthy and doing very well. If either of them had IBD, they would be dead by now. Again, I purchaced (3) seperate animals on (3) seperate dates that were shipped at (3) different times ranging from 6-10 months ago. The point of my post is that, If Allen had something going through his collection/ animals, there would of been a good chance that I would have seen it. I have not, all are doing extremely well
