    I've actually seen a w/c adult snake that was so encumbered with 'worms' that he digested a large adult mouse in roughly one day, because he had so much 'help'. But hopefully that's not the case here, just sharing where my perspective comes from. It's not likely to be the issue with yours.
    Thanks for the info! It’s always a good idea to consider all the possibilities. I agree that parasites are likely not present, but I’ll keep an eye on her anyway
