glad to be back

If there's any chance she's gravid, hold off on deworming. It should only be done if the snake is in top condition and not under any kind of stress, physical, social, or otherwise. I would wait until after the babies are born and she has had at least a month of feeding very well to regain her body mass.

Then weigh her in grams. Dosage is highly dependent on the the mother's mass and it must be all her mass, wieghed when she is fully recovered from having babies, and fully hydrated, no excess from carrying offspring or from meals taken within 6 days. I have the right meds and access to a scale that can weigh the meds in micrograms/milligrams for the proper dosage. It's a fine line between too little, and too much, and you don't want to do either.

I would be willing to take her body mass measurements in grams, a month after having babies and feeding well, and then send you the proper dosage. No charge.

Other than that, you would have to take her to a vet. Vet will tell you the same thing. She needs to have those babies and time to recover some body mass before dosing her with deworming meds. Proper, effective deworming is hard on a reptile. There is a right time, and a wrong time to do it.

It's worth it for the long-term health of your snake, but here is always an element of risk. Timing and accurate dosage is everything.
