Reptile roundworm infection in human

[Bogertophis]

For anyone new to the hobby and considering a carpet python as a pet, Australia banned exports many years ago. So, any carpet python you'll find for sale will be captive born and bred (CBB) and not wild caught (WC). As a result, very unlikely to harbor parasites like the roundworm mentioned in this article.

For sure- and it's one reason we heartily endorse captive-bred animals. (Besides protecting the future survival of indigenous wildlife whether in the U.S. or worldwide.)
