The past history may prove it is wild caught as i am assuming aswell, but it is on my license........
the previous owner doesnt know how old she is so im assuming they stole it from the wild and somehow put it on a license??? Is it possible??
Also the idiot was feeding it wild caught sparrows!!! which would explain the parasites!!

Thats only the start if its being fed wild caught sparrows, who knows how long before its feeding on frozen rodents or whatever other problems are going to arise.

Has anyone ever heard of poor treatment by previous owners? There are a miriad of reasons as to why the snake has parasites.
As for the name, what about Mystique? I love that name for a female snake. |

Subscriber | Join Date: Jul-07 Location: SEQLD Age/Gender: 21 | | | | i can only imagine how many of the snakes owned by members have parasites. no one seems to go to the vet for check ups. i havn't seen one herp since i started working at this new clinic and there are a lot of local reptile keepers. and the amount of people that are still feeding live is shocking.

| | |  Worm and Parasite Prevention
Am thinking of getting a DP and after looking at some of the pics you guys have, that has turned into sure will. I have spent some time checking a lot of things out and have a question about worm and parasite prevention. Is there a regular plan for thier prevention such as worming your dog or cat? What do you use? |

What do you use? | A captive bred snake fed on frozen captive bred food is not likely to pick up internal parasites. Hence the cynical comments. | | |
