Is it true that boas and pythons are so closely related that they can spread sicknesses ect to one another?? it's just im about to put my burm in the same room as my boas and i was just wondering is this true and does everyone else seperate there boas/pythons????

research IBD not sure exactly what it stands for but I think this is what you are talking about. alot of people have different opinions on it as people often clam there python has died of it without being 100% sure and getting it confirmed. iam sorry i can not help you any more on this but iam sure somebody else will give you a better explanation, but in the mean time google IBD BOA PYTHON an also have a search on this forum as iam sure there are some threads about it somewhere.

this may help. Inclusion Body disease. If a boa were to carry it and be in vicinity of a python, the chances are high that you'd detect it in you python sooner rather than later.

Basically its fatal.
