We purchased a subsaharan WC girl last year. She is scared to death of rats. She can only be fed ASFs. She will eat 5 ASF adults back to back if given the chance but wouldnt touch anything else. My girl was already de-wormed and de-ticked before purchasing. However, the ticks can crawl into the cloaca and latch on, they then shed the eggs and the eggs can then re-infect the snake. We put her on a 3 month cycle of provent a mite and she is cleared. The life cycle of african ticks is 1 month.
