Ahaetulla parasites

apeystyles Apr 03, 2007 10:30 PM

Has anyone ever had problems with parasites from feeding anoles/geckos to their vine snake? I know that these snakes can be very susceptible to parasites.

I haven't had any problems as of yet but I am trying to switch mine to frozen to lessen the risk. Luckily for me I have a large selection of anoles and house geckos to choose from so I always select the healthiest mite free specimen I can. Of course this doesnt mean they carry less of a risk, it just makes me feel better!
