Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I read on the kingsnake forum that they tend to soak a lot and you will see black dots in the water.

She was referring to parasites, but worms! Sometimes collareds will become lethargic, have lose of appetite, be extremely thin, and it will be worms.

You can have a fecal done by your Vet, he will check his feces to see if worms/ eggs are present.

I use Parazap, as a preventative for all my lizards. They are all treated on a routine basis, so I have thank goodness not, had any major problems.

Used right it is very helpful, I like it.

Your guy may just be slowing down, getting ready for the colder months. I have One guy who is picking here and there, but not really eating well either.

Heres a site you can look at

typing a message when i am tired. sorry to confuse you! i was refering to internal parasites. i think i used the term bugs.
but just for future reference mites usually accumulate in areas that are not exposed as much, folds of skin, armpits, ears. when i bought walter segundo he had one in his ear and it was red.
