LoL, I'm sorry, but I found that funny that a tech said that. I'm a Vet Tech in training, and still know the difference between pinworms and ringworm. One's a worm, one's a nasty-will-not-go-away fungus. Yeah, treating pinworms is pretty straight forward. The vet will probably give you Strongid or Ivomec. We have a few rodents up at school that have pinworms. I also have a pair of gerbils I'm breeding (quite proliferative little guys). I know, I got off subject I hope all of the medicating goes well, but hopefully those eggs were just remnants what he ate. We actually asked that question to my teacher, who is a great vet, and he said that snakes can't get pinworms from their food, also said they the worms are host-specific, meaning they can't be transferred to the snake. I hope everything goes well though. Good Luck!
