Here are the big question... Help I just bought a wild caught ??

What do I treat it with?

Where do I find the stuff?

How do I give it to my snake?

How do I get rid of all the ticks?

How do I take care of any wounds?

Here it a topic that I get asked all the time..!!
You see it come and go.
Thousands of imported balls come in every year..and sold.

I'd call my vet. That pretty much solves all the questions.

If I had my own microscope I might try to treat it myself, but for an animal with that many problems, it's nice to have it all taken care of in one office visit.
