So my boa was still not eating so I took him to the vet this morning. Although the symptoms haven't got worse he seems to have a respiratory infection. He's on antibiotics now, but he was also wormed - something I never realised was necessary.

The vet gave me some reptoboost as well, so between all that I'm hoping there will be a good chow down in the next week or so.

I've learned something new anyway! He's given me some more worm medicine to administer in December (just inject into a rat). Hopefully he'll be feeding by then. He's in blue now so I'm going to have to wait until after the shed to re-administer the antibiotics.

I hear a lot of imports get wormed before breeding.

Regular worming is not needed but they can get them

Hmmm I'm still not buying it lol
But I'd probably do the same thing in your shoes, better safe than sorry.

Well there you go. The vet said he may not need wormed but if he's sick and has worms then getting rid of the worms will help.

Yes you can get snakes wormed they can get then from food/other reptiles.
jasmin my iguaua was treated for worms a while back after having stool sample tested

I'd never heard of that either, but he's the only reptile very in the country so I'm going with his advice.

Errrr, okay I'd be very interested in the results of the worming (and the price) I've never heard of anyone getting their snake wormed before.
