I never had a single parasite problem with wilds snakes, not in my whole life. Including any of the hogs.
The wild hogs are a tiny bit different then captive born. That's true with any animal that has adjusted to nature. So in the beginning, they need a tiny bit more work then captive hatched. That is, in marginal conditions.
Why those folks had problems, I cannot say. I am sure they had problems due to neglect, would be my guess.
Parasites are only a problem when providing extremely poor husbandry.
