I have to agree with what "phantompoo" said in your other thread about the spreading of internal parasites. As long as you wash up after handling, cleaning, feeding, etc..., the w/c, you shouldn't have any problems. That includes substrate, water bowl, cage decorations, etc..., too.



I don't know if a gravid snake can be treated or not. I'd imagine that it would depend on the type of parasites (actually, the medicine needed to treat for the parasites) and how far along she is.



Best wishes!
