| Got to say I fully support the removal of invasive species on Guam, though they should start with the US military base first.
OPMV and IBD are; while not common, around in collections. The vet saying he has had a lot of cases through his surgery. I tend to be sceptical. Dead snakes with symptoms similar to those two, probably. The terms are just blanket at the momnet probably covering a myriad of diseases. Im told that OPMV needs to be sent out of the country. Thats expensive and a lot of paper work. Not sure about IBD.
The Dept Ag keeps info on these diseases as I think they are notifiable. There have been several persons who are known to have it in there collections.
