I am not sure you kept up with the thread, but at the time I made the bone cell wording, I did not recall the report from my memory that the term to describe the cells was inclusive cells so called them bone cells.
I do recall researching IBD on the internet months ago and read about it in mammals that had bone/spine disorders or issues with bones and these inclusive bodies showed when the animals were examined. Something else tells me I learned they were related to bones, so I called them bone cells by mistake.
I am not sure how anyone does routine testing on their breeding stock as someone emailed me tonight who is more so familiar with the breeder's operations and made the statment that the breeder checks his stuff for IBD and other potential disorders and obtains a health certificate for them which I know is true about them at least. I understand they have a giant operation so they perhaps do test them. If it means they knock one off for monthly, every quarter, annually, or whatever, then perhaps they do that.
But to be really honest with you, that snake was a fiesty fat biter when I packed it. There is no way on this planet it had any disease or disorder when I bagged it as it ate just a few days before and had a large solid poop in its container as did the other. Had it been sick or questionable, I would have telephoned the buyer and informed that something was wrong. Plain and simple. If anyone thinks I shipped that snake bloated and sick and planned to pay the fellow the next day, 150 dollars, then they need to get some fresh air and wake up. It's utter madness to imagine such a thing.
For all I know, the snake examined was not even my snake. I could care less about issue as the buyer did not inform the examiner the snake might of been strangled by another snake. I spoke with a vet tonight and he said if a snake is injured by trauma and suffers long enough, that inclusive cells would be present in an exam. Maybe he was wrong, maybe he was right, but I know I did not crap down a load of those cells into that snake and ship it that way.

Dan, would you care to point out just where in the report it mentions "bone cells" being present? I must be missing it.
And explain to us all, who apparently are less educated, how exactly one does conclusive IBD "screening" on their breeding stock, on a regular basis? I'm really curious to hear that information, as it must be some new, innovative procedure the rest of us have yet to learn of.
