Yep, that's a tapeworm. Your best bet is to go to the vet. You don't say what "Annie" is, but the medication and dosage used will vary depending on species, size, etc. A fecal exam normally runs from $20.00 to $25.00 depending on where you are and the meds will run about the same.

Annie is a 5 foot female green anaconda. thank your for the information. how could she have gotten worms? I was thinking she might of bin born with it or she got it from a cage mate or maybe it was something she ate. i was told she was captive breed.
