If so.....
Some info posted by my vets ....
***ATTENTION SNAKE KEEPERS***
Tariq has diagnosed Nidovirus in a python from Wiltshire this week. Nidovirus is an important emerging disease in pythons, often (but not always) affecting green tree pythons and other Indo-Australian species.
We highly recommend that all pythons and boas with respiratory infections are tested for viruses - particularly where they are part of a collection, where several snakes are affected and especially if mites have been seen in the collection within the last couple of years.
For more information, speak to your reptile vet.
