I can tell you for a fact that if it is proven that Luke has OPMV that his entire collection will be euthanased and all cages destroyed.
Even if a vet report says OPMV, that conclusion will be in itself investigated by cross examination of the vet and nothing will be simply taken as face value. Secondly if in the remote case that Luke did have it and it was 100% proven then there will be full disclosure.
I highly doubt that any tissue was sent to the USA for testing ,as apparently the autopsy only cost $140.
Considering there were absolutely no symptoms in the reptile that died, I am suspecting another cause of death e.g. previous exposure to excess temperature.
