We just had what appeared to be a rash of E. invadens in our gargoyle geckos. It infects the lower intestine and liver and causes swelling, lesions, necrosis, etc. We treated them with Metronidazole and while they seem much better, one still has rotten-looking gray splotches on her face. While looking for information on that (found none so far) I found this pdf which details the necropsy of four ball pythons which were concluded to have died from E. invadens and similar amoebae. I'm now worried about my snakes.

Does anyone have any other information about this infecting ball pythons and other snakes? We first thought it would only affect the genus Racodactylus (gargoyle and cresties), but this paper makes me worry a bit more. I did have two ball pythons die mysteriously last summer.
