With internal parasites, they may be in balance with the animal for a year because they were comfortable and not stressed (just guessing) and then comming into a new "home" could stress them to the point where they are negatively affected by the residual parasites in the gut.

So in other words you have taken all your snakes to the vet when you first got them just to be careful?

What I am saying is yes definately QT them...but I don't see a need to take them to the vet for no reason. The money he saves could be put toward more snakes

Just my opinion
