Your snake doesn't show any symptom of amebiasis. Amebiasis is one of the most serious diseases in reptiles and it is caused by the protozoan microorganism Entamoeba invadens. A reptile is less susceptible to an amebiasis infection if its enclosure is kept clean. Contact with infected reptiles should be avoided.
Your snake shows only one common symptom of amebiasis. Since most symptoms are non-specific it cannot be conclusively said that your pet does suffer from amebiasis. The veterinarian will test the reptile droppings for the presence of the protozoa Entamoeba invadens and if the presence is confirmed he will prescribe antiprotozoal drugs for the reptile.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
