You can go to any pet store and look in the tropical fish medication section. Drug name is metronidazole.

I was talking with classmates during my reptile vet med class and an unnamed petstore was giving their rats metronidazole. They all became neurotic and died from overdose. I hope you get some good info from your friendly neighborhood petstore.

You're not doing your snake a favour by by-passing the only legal method of obtaining this perscription drug. If your vet has confidence in you he/she may give you enough to empirically treat your collection and/or newcomers in the future, but without this relationship you're SOL. I havn't been able to find Flagyl on the beanfarm website (I've heard they have it as well), but the laws are there and it is illegal to sell without a prescription.

Contact the American Veterinary Medical Association if you have any further questions.
