STUDY ON INTERNAL PARASITES IN SNAKES GROWN IN DOMESTIC CONDITIONS

Parasitological study of domestic snakes is a diagnostic approach of great veterinary significance, as many of the internal diseases have similar clinical signs. With modifications of our known diagnostic methods, a number of internal non-infectious diseases can be differentiated from parasitoses or appropriate corrective measures can be identified in breeding conditions. Domestic snakes have been investigated, with some being found to contain oxirid eggs. A study on this finding was carried out and methods of investigation, parasitosis data and procedure for treatment were pre-sented, with commenting on the importance of oxyuridosis in serpents. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of a periodic prophylactic control of the parasitological status of domestic snakes as a preventive measure against diseases, which is of great importance for the breeders and the pet shops because there is a gathering of animals and an exchange of inventory.
