Panacur Dewormer - 25 gram tube (http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/reptile-medications-mite-sprays-and-cleaners/-/panacur-dewormer--25-gram-tube/)

That is a dewormer made for horses. It is probably one of the most common dewormers for reptiles. Call your vet and ask about how much to give to her. Hope this helps.

First off are you 100% sure that its Parasites??? It could be tumors. Call and ask your vet how much they would charge for a Fecal Float. Don't just medicate your snake. A fecal float will tell you if there are subcutaneous worms or not. I Don't think its good to medicate a snake if it doesn't have worms.

Could be subcutaneous worms. You have to know what to treat before you should treat.

Not only that, if it is subcutaneous worms, you're going to need more than dewormer. You're going to need to have them surgically removed and antibiotic therapy. Simply using a dewormer to kill them, then leaving them in there will usually result in septic shock.

I wish I had better news for you, but without a vet visit, it's better that you do nothing at all and not give your snake any medications.

Looks like you're going to have to go for a vet visit on this one. Simply too many variables to be sure.

Has she always had these bumps? What are you feeding her? Has her behavior changed at all?
