It is a fact that many snakes carry a load of parasites in the wild. Many snakes die from this that we never see. The rest are strong enough that their systems are not seriously affected...that is till we put them through the stress of capture and shipment. This is something the snake was not designed to deal with. As a result the stressed snake becomes weaker and the delicate control is lost.
