I am sorry, but parasite amplification only occurs when the snake is kept in unhealthy conditions. If you allow them the conditions they REQUIRE, they rid themselves of parasites very quickly.

As you should know,I believe most parasites have an intermediate host, and that is missing in captivity.

The point is, I do not treat for parasites and have had EXTREMELY good success. Which is why I ask the question in the first place.

I believe you are stuck in a system of husbandry that allows your animals to suffer. Again, wild snakes do not have a problem. My snakes do not have a problem. Yet, you believe yours do.

Explain that????? Cheers
