I believe I may have recently picked up a bad batch of walmart worms, worms were perfectly healthy. However, some of my snakes got horribly sick. I thought first it was bad fish, but after swapping out the source for the fish, I am not so sure. I was sure the sick snakes weren't going to survive.

Never heard of these worms causing issues. These were the DMF Canadian Night Crawlers?

Re: Bad night crawlers from Walmart *Alert*
Those are the ones, I will see how they do this weekend when I feed without the worms.
Sypthoms resembled that of calcium and thiamine deficiency, however it coinsided with swelling and a puffy appearance. Lots of water drinking and obviously neurological, altered coordination. Happened within 24 hours of feedings. Not sure if anyone might have any thoughts. Thanks
