Q: IBD in colubrids
Posted By:

NikiP

Long story short, has there been anything fairly recent (papers, threads, etc etc) on findings of IBD in colubrids? For threads, ones where the people actually have testing done to confirm it & not just crying IBD.

I did find this thread, but the info quoted appears to mostly be from 1994 & 2006. Curious if there is anything newer on the matter.

I've seen random mentions of only two confirmed cases in non boa/python species, so far i've only seen specific mention of a kingsnake & the palm viper.

There's this, but it doesn't appear to be 100% sure to be the same thing.

And this, although an excellent study, still doesn't speak of the possibly outside of boas & pythons. The three non boas/pythons tested negative.

Last I read was that colubrids can carry but are not affected by it but I don't even know where I read it so who knows how credible that is

You're right George, I wasn't even thinking! I was thinking about the discussion that led to this topic.

Sylvias, that's what I keep reading also.
