I've got a 2 year old male Leopard Rat Snake that I've had for about 2-3 months now. For about 2 weeks he's been occasionally spasticly darting around the enclosure twisting his body really weird and today I found this.

I'm assuming some type of internal parasite or tapeworm? I'm pretty sure he pooped this out and didn't regurgitate it (although I didn't see it happen). Can anyone help me out I've never had anything like this happen before. There are no Reptile Vets in my area. He's been on f/t fuzzies and hoppers. I assume that being frozen that potential parasites would be dead (I know bacteria is another story). What should I do and how would he have gotten sick in the first place?

Thanks for your help, Steve
