A few years ago i brought in some really high end captive hatched babies. I hold all my c.h. for 4 feedings before posting them for sale. Basically a month quarintine. One of the coolest het ivories i brought in would eat then swell up, and then poo a little, but he always stayed slitly swelled (he passed away). I noticed a few other snakes doing the same. I really had no idea what it was. Then one of the snakes that sweeled died and i got concerned. I lost 2-3 more from the group. The only snake i had sold out of that group went to Tracy B. I called her immediately and told her what happened and she said she had noticed hers doing the same. She told me it was a protazoan infestation and all you needed was some Flagil.

All you do is take a Flagil pill and cut off a tiny chip of it. 2mm x 2mm and open its mouth and put it in the back of its throat. It worked great.

I will say its very contagious and im glad i have a seperate bulding for quarintine. My employee was being lazy in his cleaning, i figured this out when it started being passed all through that rack. And i had him show me how he was cleaning the rack. After Tracy told me how to get rid of it, i did not lose another snake. It did take about 3 weeks to knock it out of that rack completely. Every snake that had it and was treated is doing great today.

I would wear gloves while cleaning that ones tank and i would clean it last if you have any other snakes.

If you need a tablet i may have some left, shoot over your # in a pm and when im at the wharehouse tomorrow ill check for you and mail one off to you.
Thanks for that response. Can this be passed on to humans? I will shoot you my number on a PM. I will be calling my vet tomorrow again with this information. I really appreciate this.
