I use wormrid also. It does have a use by date on the bottle so if you buy it get one in date. Also panacur will not treat all parasites, i wouldn't use it by itself as it wont get them all.

I don't think you should routine worm a snake. Would you take an aspirin in case you get a headache tomorrow? Treat symptoms not fears I say |

Interesting theory.....I think there are a few holes in it though. I would not wait for the symptoms of tetanus before I got a booster shot for example.
My snakes get wormed every 6 months. I lost one snake to worms, I don't want to ever lose another.

I am no expert but i think a very good sign to look for to see if you snake has worms is if it regurgitates it's food and the item has worms all over it.

By far the easiest and most acurate way to tell if you need to worm your animal is to take a fecal sample and either have it tested or test it yourself. CB animals should but not always be relatively worm free if fed frozen / thawed mice as the freezing process ( i freeze for 6 weeks ) will kill the living worms and any eggs, so i have been advised.
