Possible parasite problem with Alterna??

jadreptile Jan 21, 2009 05:27 PM

Hello,
Just wanted to ask a question to some of the regulars here. I have an 06 female alterna that has a very strong odor when deficating-okay,different than all my other snakes. There is always small multiple poops around the cage and appear to be somewhat runny/clear type gel looking with some faded red. Does this sound like a parasite problem?? This snake has always eaten regularly but has been like this since I got her earlier this year.

thanks for any help.

I rarely come to this forum and honestly don't know, but I'd guess it is bacterial (Coccidial or something like that).
