Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well they have settled in well and are feeding. The female spends all her time in the branches and the male is usually in the water bowl. I found out that they camwe in from Java.
Well today I have tried to worm them and soon found out it is not a job for one. I think I just lopst a couple of pints of the red stuff, and all mine.
The question is if I inject the wormer into the defrost mouse will it still work.

That's how I dewormed my Gonyosoma. I injected the required dosage of Panacur in a rat dead rat pup.

I don't worm my Gonyosoma that way but I have done this with quite a few venomous snakes. So it should be fine.

I had a vet tell me once that applying the wormer directly to the rodent rather than injecting it is better provided the snake eats fairly quickly. I don't know that it's that big of a deal.

Current snakes:

1.1 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Silver/Yellow)

3.4 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Green)

2.1 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black)

I think this is the way to go but a compromise and put the panacure on the outside of the mouse.
