If you have access to a microscope, you can look at the stomach contents under it to see if it is sand or worms. But from the rather sesame-seed shape of the contents, I think it's some kind of parasite...that could have killed the snake.

With the information you have from the necropsy, I think you're best to go ahead and treat the remaining snakes with Panacur.

Thank you I had my microscope ready to go then realized I have no slides. I took a bunch of pictures and dumped the rest, if they were tapeworm eggs I didn't want them to dry and release into the air. I have my Panacur all ready to go. I remember Wayne saying something about putting meds on food. Can I do this with Panacur or do I need to tube it and give it orally?

Also upon closer examination in one of the pics I found this. Possible hook worm?
