Help!

I walked into my room today to find that my snake was so called in the herp world " star gazing." do you think this could be inclusion body disease? He is eating though but I am concerned. Or could it just be he was looking up at sumthin?

What type of snake is he? To the best of my knowledge, inclusion body disease only affects boids.

The snake may simply have had something caught its attention and was looking at it. The only way to be sure about inclusion body disease is to have a vet look at it. This is very important as this is a highly contagious fatal disease.

Could be. Merlin I was also informed that the disease is bad but RARE. Is this true?

Unfortunately its not all that rare! and it can move thru a collection VERY rapidly. It is the scourge of the boid world!
