I have a book that gives this information. I am currently reading it, and in a few days I hope to post a book review.

Very good pictures, Marc. Very interesting. Were you not able to get a picture of the roundworm?

Good idea to post them in your gallery, rather than into the thread...just in case some members don't want to see this kind of picture. Thanks for sharing, Marc.

Re: Inactive gravid female

We've tried to get a picture of the roundworm, outside of the snake but the quality wasn't there, so you can see the roundworm (nematode) only during the autopsy on this picture AutopLegend04. It gives an idea of the size of the worm compared to the snake (my female was about 1m long)

Thanks, Marc. I don't know how I missed it first time round, especially as it's labelled!

Re: Inactive gravid female

I'm just catching up on things here. Really, sorry about your snake, Marc. And thank you for the pictures, (and also not posting them in the thread.) I'm eating lunch actually, and plan to look at them a little later...

Cool Re: Inactive gravid female

Sorry for your loss, Marc.

Pictures look good. Thanks for sharing.

And to everybody else... donīt give your snakes medicines for something if there hasnīt been a proper diagnose by a vet.

In this particular case, the question is more about the necessity of a preventive treatment against worms. But i'd say this leads to endless debates about the risks, stressing the animal, the effectiveness of treatments, and so on...
Unless a real study is done about this, nothing interesting will come out of it.
Maybe some other people could share their experience with worms, in order to see if a preventive treatment really is useful
