Hi Herp Lovers
I have a mate who has bought a pair of Adult womas from a reputable breeder.
Both have died within two months!!!!!
He had them the full blood & everything tests done.
The results came back that he had, OPMV (Paramyxoviral demyelinating encephalitis.).
Lucky he only had two womas, so no spredding of OPMV.
But he wants to get new pythons so how does he stop it spreding to other pythons?
Also do you think he should ask the breeder for a refund?
The vet told him the pythons could have contacted OPMV up to 10 months ago!
The pythons also had no contact with any other pythons or tanks, straight from the seller.
His tanks are also brand new built for the womas as these were his first Reptiles ever.
Please help with answers & Ideas.
Thanks,
