2 are still eating like there is no tomorrow and one did not take food yesterday ween i fed but its geting close to that time of year to so i dont know if it has to do with this or not

It looks like some type of nematode to me panacur should take care of it. Just make sure you get the dosing right.

Thanks for your kind words but I am not expert. Just a member/keeper still learning.

well as compared to lil ol me, yes you are an expert. The day we quit learning on earth is the day we die. No one knows it all but as far as garters go, i think you know quite a bit! Im glad you posted and he looked up the info rather then taking my lame advice.

As far as vets go, i agree Luke, i sure wish we had a few as well, we do have one that will look at them, but i wasnt too happy with the advice i was given over the phone, without even seeing the snake first.

well the vet today was a big flop. but i did get the panacur from him he could not give it to my snakes. cuz he did not have a scale that could get the weight of a small snake. so guess i need to get a good scale so i can get it to them. does anyone have any recommendation's?

[luke.B]

and the vet was not sure how much to used wich is never a good thing.

My Vet. treats my snakes with Panacur.

I have heard Ivermectin is not safe for reptiles.
Check out the warning * toward the middle of the page.

I know this to be popular for Pythons and as a treat against tiks and mites as well, the dose is really small.
