I agree. I used to never treat anything for parasites. Most of the snakes I've caught have done well in captivity. Recently I've gotten some fresh caught snakes that were underweight, and I made sure to treat those, and they seem to be gaining weight well as a result. I'm going to try to deworm most of my collection this year. If they have parasites, the parasites are getting some of the nutrients my snakes are taking in. I like feeding snakes, not worms.
