Sorry for you loss! What makes you think it is paramyxovirus? I am unaware of how this affects reptiles but thought it was more common in lizards than snakes? This is the virus that causes parvo in dogs I believe as well as various respiratory diseases in humans.

I can't help except to suggest, as I am sure you have done, strict isolation and hygiene between all animals.

I am sure someone who does know will be able to help better...... sorry!

Hi all,

How do you know it is paramyxovirus? has it beign diagnosed by a vet or yourself.

If by yourself take the dead snake to the vets to get a post mortem done put snake in plastic bag and put in fridge not freezer and get to vets asap

Keep very strict hygene conditions with your snakes, have you got any new snakes lately or lizards it could have come in on one of these.

Do you quarenteen new additions.

unless you've had a post mortem done they cannot possibly know what was wrong.

Theres nothing you can do other than to adhere to the strict quarentine you no doubt apply.
