Fortunately this isn't about any of my snakes, but unfortunately it still involves a dead snake. An Instagram user that I follow lost a young eastern garter to what I believe are parasites from feeding the snake wild toads (parasites obviously being my guess). The snake has a small hole in the head near the right nostril. Any ideas as to exact cause? I've read about some parasite larvae boring through the skin, could this be the source of the extra hole? I told him to freeze food items if he must catch his food as wild amphibians are the most frequent carriers of parasites.
