Yea, that's almost exactly what the manager of the store says. I think he's guilty of exaggeration / paranoia. Even if they saw a few snakes a week that's probably still minor considering there's probably 50 ball pythons sold per day in a city this size. The population of pet snakes must be 10's of thousands. And, considering how the stores flip live mice on Fri and Sat nights, all from the same sources, there would be epidemics. But, not all of these things create an emergency situation so who knows. Its probably not a bad idea to get a vet to do a poo inspection every now and again if its not too costly.

Mr. F/T says he just gives all his snakes the treatment once per year. I guess he likes to run a clean ship!
