Hi to all!
I have a question, might be stupid but I'm quite ignorant in the matter.
I was wondering how can a snake get internal parassites if fed on frosen mouse and is helthy when bought. Can it pick them up from the enviroment if previously there was a corn with parassites in it?
I'm asking because I bought a hachling corn that died two weeks later, I have not had the chance to take the body to the vet to see way but the only thing I can think of is parassites, it ate a pinky and regurgitated the day after. After that she refused to eat and died. She was not overly thin and had not been without food so long to think it was starvation (1 and a half week). I cleand out her enclosure sterilizing all but the bark slab I keep for climbing on (did'nt know how to do it) I put another hatcling in there, he ate and shed 5 times. Then the same problem starts, refuses food and regurgitates when accepting. I was going to take him to the vet one morning but got up to find him dead...any thougts?
I have 4 other snakes, two corns and one pueblan and they are doing just fine...
Thanks
