I do produce my own feeders and my entire rat colony has been treated with Ivermectin as a precaution. Regardless, my vet said that the tapeworms this snake has are not any sort of parasite that could have come from a feeder animal or other mammal.
It has been stated that I have added other snakes to my collection since acquiring these snakes from Ed and I had replied that the only 2 snakes I have added are ones I just got in Daytona a few weeks ago. I would like to mention that I did acquire one other snake 3 days after acquiring these females (just trying to be completely honest here, and that had slipped my mind). That snake was just a few weeks old at the time and quarantined separately from the females I got from Ed; he is thriving and currently weighs more than they do.
