Joe has a point, and its important here. snakes kept at average temps, do not develop a strong immune system and often do have these types of complications.

The immune system is developed at the upper end of the temp range. Its kinda like a fever thing in humans also.

So yes, if you have snakes that are kept at lower temps, they commonly are compromised by pathogens and parasites. Healthy snakes are NOT.

Which is another reason I rag on this poop
