I have brought fecal samples to my "vet" that I actually know more about snakes than they did. They are not an exotics vet. They do not specialize in exotics but do see reptiles. I had no issue bringing in multiple fecal samples so I am surprised that a vet that sees reptiles couldn't do a test. I don't think it's done any different for a cat or dog either....that statement would make me nervous to go there again anyways so I'd think it's for the best to find a different vet

The medication they even prescribed for when my normal male had pinworms was actually just diluted dog/cat antiparasitic. I made it the same way I would for a dog/cat, just diluted it to their instructions and gave him a fraction that a dog/cat would have gotten it at.
