The PILLS themselves are 250 mg. To make it easy for you, 50 mg/kg of body weight for a 300 gram snake = 1/16th of a 250 mg. pill you have there. If you crush an entire pill into powder, then cut it into 16 equal "lines"..LOL!, one "line" would be a dose for a 300 gram snake. Just weigh it and equate what percentage yours is from the 300 gram example I gave, and there you have it.
The Panacur(de-wormer) is given at the rate of 50 to 100 mg/kg body of weight.
That snake looks to be around maybe 50 grams or so by the pennies there, so if it is say 50 grams, you would then split one of those 16 equal lines of the pill into roughly 6 equal parts, one of which would be the dose for a 50 gram snake.
