You can take it for a vet check-up, and ask for a dewormer. Its cheap, injectable, and your vet will give you a gram/nmedicine ratio. I deworm all my snakes. It can't hurt.

Unfortunately, that only helps for the intestinal parasites. Its the other ones you have to look our for, and idk the answer to those.
