Nice, Rhea. Watch out for internal parasites with those Xenochrophis if they're wild caught. They are beautiful snakes aren't they. (and very popular just now!) Do you know their sex yet?

Re: my new arrivals

upon closer inspection they definitely have nematodes and one has a blister
they're alert though, and curious
their orifices all look clean
genders 1.1.1, 'til the Doc gets to see them

Re: my new arrivals

Rhea,

If you get the chance, would you mind taking a picture of the nematodes in the feces? I think it would be very helpful in the future for people who are wondering about the condition of their new arrivals? Luckily, I don't have any nematodes to photograph at the moment .

Rick

Re: my new arrivals

Good idea Rick.....wish I'd thought of that! Maybe we should all consider photographing every event from now on, good or bad, for the general good of all our members.
