Mike this is a great subject! I started learning about this years ago, and was even going to buy a microscope, but I'm just not sure I could ID the little buggers? I realized that most copuld be cured with a shot gun aproach of Flagyl, and Panicur. If I ever suspect a snake of harboring any parasites I use the proper dose and treatment of those two drugs, and it works like a charm. The only time I have had a snake die in recent years, was a couple I got from a particular breeder. Both snakes arrived eating but they would regurge soon after. they never responded to the treatment, and quickly perished. I strongly suspect they were carrying Crypto, which can lay dormant for as long as a year, or more. ----- King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?
