I purchased my first Unicolor Cribo yesterday and she's a little skinny with one scar on her back. I'm assuming she's a wild caught? What should she be treated with and what should she not be treated with? Thanks in advance.

I would suggest not treating for anything until you've established what needs treating.

-Keep her away from the rest of the collection.
-Take a fresh fecal sample to a vet to determine what bugs the snake has and treat for those.

Good luck with her.
