And btw, store bought would be the first snakes I'd take in for fecal tests, since most pet stores by captive hatched babies in lots, which are more likely to test positive for internal parasites, than captive bred babies.
yah she said mites wich was why i kinda wonderd and it was a fecal float to weird and she was a herp specialist, i doubt she woulda said it to cept for that ive never seen mites on any of my snakes
and store bought (lilith ) was why i went Kaa was from a breeder but figured id take em both in after quarantine just to get em checked out but anyways if there were mites there gone now and both snakes passed there exams with an A (well Kaa was a lil chubby but thats my fault no hiS)
