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.
