OH MY GOD!!
This is disgusting!One of my diamonds has worms!
This is bad, very bad.I have to wait until the morning to try and get her to a vet.
She has been off her food for about two months so I have been keeping an eye on her.I have had snakes go a lot longer without food so I was not overly concerned.....I wish now I had of take her to the vets.
When I was checking water bowls tonight I discovered a very runny and smelly poo in the corner of the enclosure.Then to my horror I noticed that about an inch of her intestine was sticking out!
PANIC STATIONS!
She finally passed another poo and there were three large worms as well.
Her intestine looks swollen and infected but seems to be retracting back inside her.
She is a large snake, about 7ft, even if she survives I am worried about the damage that has been done to her internally.
That's it, I am going to worm my entire collection tomorrow even thought they all look healthy.
