Re: De-Wormer for Reptiles?

I wasn't critisizing the OP for writing so much, or telling people not to type as much as he did. Actually, the more details about an issue the better we can understand and when its all in one post its easier than sifting through the pages to find it. I was just pointing out the fact that I'm an idiot and when I see large clumps of small text like that, I can't read it and just skip it all together. I'm not much of a reader for online text but books are a different story. SOrry for the confusion!

No No I do that too, don't worry about it Smy_749. If I saw someone posting a long post I would either skim through it slowly so I have some brief thoughts on what it's about, or read some of the comments. And I wouldn't post something like what SSSSnakes posted nor end it with "No disrespect intended" that's like kicking someone in the balls then saying "No hard feelings right?"

I said to go to a vet or an experienced Herpetologist to get the proper training. I have driven many hours to go to a vet that is reputable with herps to treat my snakes. No one on here can give you the answers you seek without seeing your snake and having a fecal sample tested. I'm sorry you don't like the answer I gave you.

And once again, I posted that there aren't that many herpetologists in this area, going to a vet and get trained doesn't really matter if they don't know what they are doing, they would probably train me yes, but on horses and cows. Unless I drive to a bigger city which are farther away then MAYBE I'll find one that knows what they are doing, but unfortunately I don't really have the time to go, helping my parents with their business and not having a car is really putting damper on things. I know you are just trying to help and letting me know.

Re: De-Wormer for Reptiles?

If you're completely out of luck and want to risk hurting or killing them, I might be able to help you through dosing them...but know the risks....

Re: De-Wormer for Reptiles?

@RandyRhoads: Thanks but I'd rather not, thinking about it if I do it myself I might end up killing them and I don't want that. I'll have to think of a day when we could go to a bigger place.

@Kimmie: I know I had that too when I was living in Iowa, the vet was like 10 minutes away and they were good. But now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing but hicks and farm animals. We USED to have a vet and pet shops here but they all closed down cause hardly anyone would go to them, I knew this place that had awesome reptiles and birds, he even had a beautiful Albino Boa that I wanted. Though I was a little kid so even though I wanted it, my mom would ultimately be the one taking care of it. But we would go and just look around just like everyone else even though I wanted a pet lizard and snake, but mom didn't let me have one. Then one day I went to go see the animals again and everything was gone, it was sad.
