OK - but does freezing the lizard "disable" the parasites, or I am still risking infection? Obviously I need to get him back on mice so I'm willing to try this, but it seems like I might be transferring the parasites via the mouse (?).
You referred to "whole-body lizards". Are there other kinds for feeding purposes (partial lizards)?
Lastly, while I understand I should take this snake to a vet to check for internal parasites after breaking down and feeding him lizards, I'm wondering if treatment is standard and if meds are available w/o going to a vet. I ask because we don't have any herp vets in the area. There is one who will take fecal sample and ship it off to AZ for analysis - which I can do. I'm just wondering. Have never had to treat any of my herps before.
Thanks for the idea. It sounds like it could work.
