| You need some Panacur, maybe some Flagyl too, just to be safe. If you google Panacur and Ball Pythons, you can find the dosage. I have it at home and can post it later.
You are going to need some needle-less syringes and someone to help you get it down his throat. I believe panacur dosage is weekly for 3-4 weeks and flagyl will be bi-weekly for 2-3 dosas.
Check kingsnake, I believe a couple people sell it on there. | |

| Is this just a normal-type of tapeworm? I hadn't heard of balls getting this before, it would be good to know in case one my snakes ever gets sick like this. | |

| These are the dosages that I found online a while back. I can not say that they are wrong or right. I treat some of the snakes I buy just as a precautionary measure so I am not sure if I ever successfully removed any parasites or worms. I am not a vet nor can I be sure I am giving you dependable advice. I wouldn't recommend trying this unless you speak and verify this with a vet first. I am also unsure about any laws.
For Panacur, I found a recommendation of 50-75mg/kg for Ball Pythons. I found Panacur online so I assume you don't need prescription.
I found 888mg packets and I mixed one packet with 20ml of distilled water equaling 44.4mg/ml. For the minimum recommendation of Panacur, I would use just a hair over one milliliter of this suspension I just mixed for every 1000g's of Ball Python; just over two milliliters for every 2000g's etc.
For Flagyl, I found a recommendation of 25mg/kg for Ball Pythons. I purchased a 50mg/ml suspension off of Kingsnake.com. I used half a milliliter for every 1000g's of Ball Python.
The reason I mentioned Flagyl, is because if it has worms, it may have other parasites. I never treated both Flagyl and Panacur on the same day. I would research like crazy before attempting any of this first. | |

| I've used Panacur, and got it by the tube at tractor supply. Your dosages look ok to me Nick, that's what a vet I work with told me to use. | |

| I would just assume all have it at this point and treat everyone. Your best bet would be to quarantine those two and call a vet and see what they say about doing all your snakes. They may not charge that much to see them all as a group or just may need everyones weight and see just the one. I would call and tell them everything you posted here. | |

Worming the adult breeders only works until you have your first litter. Any offspring will be born with worms and the adults will likely be reinfected though contact with feces. | |
