This is an ad in the local craigslist and I am wracking my brain to think what kind of parasite she is talking about that cant be treated and spread to other reptiles.

Here is the text in the ad.....Any Ideas?????





I have 2 adults cornsnakes up for re-homing. One full grown female red and orange albino. One almost full grown male red and white albino.

They are a bit on the special needs side. They are both carriers of an internal parasite that may never cause any problems. They are healthy, good eaters, very nice and beautiful. Although, with losing one of my snakes to the clinical signs I am not looking to go through it again should it happen to arise with these two (I don't expect it will since they are already full grown and eat too well). They need to go to a home without any other reptiles, as it could be passed on. It's highly unlikely that it can be transmitted to any other mammals though. If anyone is interested in taking on these guys, please get in touch with me and I can give you more details and pictures. Re-homing fee negotiable. Cage and accessories for sale also.



I really don't want to have them put down, they are too sweet.
