Re: I.B.D Strikes Again---May you rest in Peace Keisho
Akureyri, it was a while ago that you lost your other snakes to IBD. How long can the virus live in your home? Is it possible that this latest death was from the lingering virus?

It can live indefinitely in a host that may be asymptomatic.

Re: I.B.D Strikes Again---May you rest in Peace Keisho
what skip said. a boa can carry it for life and never show symptoms or be affected by it, BUT can pass it to every other animal

Re: I.B.D Strikes Again---May you rest in Peace Keisho
it isnt really fully known how long the virus can live outside its host environment, there are speculations and hypotheses' about how long it can remain active outside the body, but not known for a fact
