Ummm... are you sure about all those? (ring worms, specifically) Ringworm is not actually a worm but a fungal infection. Forunately the others are easily treated. Best of luck treating everyone. :gj:
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
Sorry it wasnt a ring worm it was a hook worm. I am treating them all just to be sure nothing spread. Thank you everyone.
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
Ahhhh.... that makes much more sense. I thought that might have been the other one, as it is fairly common.
Luckily, the treatment is fairly easy. Good idea on treating the entire collection at one time. I'd also make sure to disinfect your cages as well. :gj:
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
How are your quarantine procedures? You say that all your snakes came in contact at one time or another. If you keep a strict quarantine for 60-90 days than you shouldn't have had these issues.
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
I hope your snake gets well. I believe if you feed live food the parasites will be alive too for 48hours after the death of the animal. Thats why if you freeze the food it'll kill all parasites(Another reason why I do p/k food anymore). I hope your snakes wont get any more parasites.

Snake parasites are completely different from rodent parasites. :)
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
Good luck with all that, and sorry to hear about your luck. Hopefully not all of them actually have parasites! My snakes never mingle just for fun...and I'm a freak about clean hands after working with or around an animal before moving to the next...not just anti-bacterial but that AND washing.
Re: How many friends did your snake have?
Well I was just using a 30 day quarantine. I say that they all have came in contact before because my mom plays with them to and she might have taken more than one out at a time like when I am at school. I have the chlorhexidine solution would that be good to disinfect all the cages?

If the food item has worms and tape worm it can transfer to the snake, right? Just like when humans eat worm and tapeworm infested food from other countries. But are you telling me tape worm cannot be transferred from the mouse to snake? Or do snakes not get worms this way?
