"UNDERSTANDING REPTILE PARASITES, by Roger J. Klingenberg D.V.M.
81 pages, soft cover, 21.5cm x 14cm, black and white photos. This book is intended to help the average herpetoculturist, amateur or professional, maintain parasite-free collections. It is not intended to be an extensive compilation of parasite taxonomy. The goals are twofold. One is to provide an understanding of, and ability to apply, basic principles in the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of common reptilian parasites. The other goal is to convey an understanding of how captivity + stress + parasites = disease, and ways this scenario can be avoided or treated. $16.50 per copy "
That book I liked cos we originally thought our snake may have had crypto but when we looked at the picture of it in the book it looked nothing like it so we were able to pretty much count that out!
