    I don't see anything wrong with this thread. Figured it was some good discussion. I"m glad you seem to have everything under control and am sorry it doesn't appear to be anything you will be able to fix.

    I agree that the discussion was good. I don't see what exactly was wrong with it :/. I am sorry to hear about your snakes its always sad when you have to euthanize.

    Re: Odd lumps

    Is there a common source of flukes or subcutaneous worms?

    Any subcutaneous worms I've dealt with I believe came from feeding live fish(pet shop guppies).

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Are pet shop guppies generally WC?

    They can be (especially the fancy ones) but it's mainly the close conditions feeders are kept in. If one of them has a parasite, they all end up getting it.

    I would say no, at least for the local shops in my area. Most of the owners breed them since they do seem to breed at an alarming rate.

    They are often pond raised in Florida so may as well be wild caught.
