Hi! I was finally able to get one of these snakes at the White Plains show yesterday but I was not able to get an answer from the seller about whether it was cb or wild caught. I am thinking of giving it Panacur to be safe but I have two questions on this:

1. If it is not carrying any worms or parasites will treatment be detrimental to its health?
2. What do I base the dose on?

Any help that could be provided would be great.

Thanks

I would not administer anything,

Quarantine the animal, look for signs of parasites or disease,if found take it to a VET. Let the Vet administer the treatment. Doing so without knowing could ultimately kill your animal.
