First of all, I am a type-A vet tech caring for Loki, my 1 yr male ghost bp. I know I could try to ask my vet friends, but to be honest almost none of them have any exotic experience, let alone snake experience, and BP.net is such a friendly place I figured I'd ask the experts here.

Question: I analyzed my bp's fecal material because I can (remember, type-A). I think I came across a pinworm egg, which I know they can get from their prey items (he's on mice). Now, I also know he can be treated with an dewormer and be done with it. But the stress about it is, if he continues to eat mice who could be infected with whatever variety of parasite they have, do I have to continue to regularly check his samples (basically once a month, based on lifecycles of common rodent/snake parasites) and keep treating him, or can the the parasite infections be self limiting (meaning that the snake lives a perfectly healthy life)? He eats, poops, and sheds nicely and regularly. I know weight is sort of important, but he looks nice and fleshly like a BP should. I should mention he is eating live; he never took f/t from me, and he gobbles up live (of course)... So I realize that f/t would solve this problem, but until I attempt to switch him back over, any ideas and/or opinions? How do you live feeders deal with this potential problem?

Thank you!
