captive born babies from wild caught parents...

Would the bbaies have more of a chance to have any parisites if they are from wild caught parents than if they were from captive born?
Thanks

but it depends on the Captive animals. Also, if the babies were EVER fed live mice/rats, or f/t that were frozen for less than two weeks they could very well have parasites. Roundworms are common in Boas that were fed live prey. If the rodent prey was dewormed, or frozen for over two weeks it is safe!
