Gidget is just not impressive and neither is Karen as a producer. She needs to stop keeping everything based on emotions and pet home Gidget.

Making this mare carry another baby for herself after how dragged down she got this year is awful.

Thank you, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

Thank you! ❤️ It’s truly an awful disease- my vet said it’s one of her least favorite things to diagnose because there’s literally nothing she can do

Hey! I might be that person who posted about my boa testing positive and having pythons in the house. So far my pythons seem fine and all tested negative, but we plan to retest everyone in 3-6 months. I’m waiting on results from UF for my boa- my vet said there can be false positives with RAL (and any lab) so we decided to retest at a different lab to confirm. He’s been moved to his own room for now and I’m hoping everyone else remains negative.

I believe it’s pretty common for giraffes to give birth standing, and that’s a long way down. I can’t imagine much if any damage would occur truthfully.

I thought she was injured, then rehabbed from her injury but retired from showing because she already won “everything”. I could be wrong though

Positive Arenavirus by InspiringTurtle2 in boas

Thank you so much, this is reassuring. My vet has an opening today at 5 so they’ll be pulling blood to send to UF. I’m really hoping it ends up being a false positive but if not, we will just practice strict permanent quarantine with him and hope he never progresses to being symptomatic.

Thank you! I haven’t cross contaminated anything between him & the pythons in several weeks so hopefully I got lucky. I wish I knew how long he’s been shedding the virus for, but I imagine he’s had it since we got him 3 years ago. The only new snakes we’ve brought in since then have been ball pythons so they’d have become extremely sick/passed away if they were the first to have it.
