internal parasites? need some help

[Homegrownscales]

Internal parasites are decently easy to get rid of. They can happen in snakes and it's something to be aware of. The most common sign is eating and still losing weight. Thus a digital scale Is a necessary object. Another very common sign is very runny extremely mucousy, smelly poop. Or seeing visual worms in the feces.
An easy way to find out whether you have parasites or not is to bring a fresh fecal sample to a vet and have them test it. This is a very inexpensive test but must be done within 24 hours of the poop.
But if you buy cb and practice quarantine you definately are limiting your chances of parasites spreading. They are relatively easy to get rid of. This generally involves an oral dewormer, the vet will instruct on how to Give it and a dosage. Also if a positive fecal is given you'll need to immediately change any bedding to prevent reinfection after a poop.
Anyways hope this helps.

I would.

I would also review the husbandry and make sure everything is setup right and maybe even try her on weaner rats.

Have you had her for 5 years or did someone give you the age when you got her?

Thanks! I just scheduled an appointment. I got her from pets mart as a 2 month year old. I think she was taken from the wild so theres a pretty good chance she could have one.
