any competent vet (reptile or not) can do a fecal, and should know to base de-worming treatments around using Flagyl and Panacur. also, pick up a copy of Dr. Klingenburg's "Understanding Reptile Parasites", an excellent book for any reptile library, but specifically applicable to all these WC and sickly Uros. everyone on this forum should own a copy of this book. one of the very best books in our collection of hundreds.



you can get it at our site, or on the kingsnake classifieds.



as for the feet, if a better substrate doesn't address the problem within a week or two, that is also something that may require a med treatment, and once again, a vet.



vets may not specifically trained to treat reptiles, especially specific species, but they SHOULD be much better than you or i in looking at a problem from a medical standpoint, making a diagnosis, researching solutions, and taking the appropriate steps to resolution.



best of luck with your animals. i know personally how cold Fairbanks can get
