Thank you. It is for sure new territory from anything I've read, and she has definitely not been around any snake since 2012 - we have no friends with snakes; my last reptile expo was 2014 and I never touched any reptiles there nor did I handle my boa anytime directly after the show.
As upset as we are that this is how her final time with us will be (however long it is) I'm hoping we can somehow contribute to more understanding of this disease. My husband and I discussed that we are willing to send samples or data if we can. I just don't want to give away her body at the end, so I'm not sure what we could do. But I'm open to talking with others about what they'd be looking for.
