I just bought 3 rodent feeding candoia, and was given 2 imports that are not eating on their own. Previous owners tried frogs, mice, rats, scenting, and only got the larger of the two to eat a couple frogs.



The larger of the two imports is an adult female. She has poor weight, loose, baggy skin, but no scars or anything else. She has eaten a couple treefrogs, but nothing more. She was "blocked up" and paralyzed when she came in, but appears to be ok now.



The smaller of the two imports is about a foot and a half long, female. She has not eaten anything. She has better weight than the larger female, loose skin.



Since these two are imports, what parasites are common in imports so I know how to treat them properly? How are Candoia with wormers such as Panacur? Are there any medications I should avoid?



All the links to photos below have wrong years on them oops.



The other three are CB, and very nice. Here's photos of the CB candoia:
