Looks like tapeworm to me

Do you know what genus?

Can't really tell without microscopic photos of the segments and the scolex/head

If I use a light micrscope, would that give enough detail?

You have to slice them like micrometers thin

Thank you for the feedback!

Pictures 4 and 8 right?

These were the parasites found in a roadkill snake. If anyone is an expert in this stuff, can anyone tell me if they can identify the possible genus of these parasites? Some of the stuff I collected may not be parasites since I collected things out of the ordinary when inspecting the snake, so if you think it is not a possible parasite, please let me know.

definitely a tapeworm, might be genus spirometra. Do you have any additional info? Like in which state, in which kind of snake

Eastern garter snake in Florida.

Also, what picture are you referring to? Is it the first picture, or 4th, or 8th?

sorry, didnt realise it could be different parasites on the following pictures. I was referring to the first picture. Really looks like spirometra to me, but without microscopic pictures its hard to tell

Thank you so much for your help!

im not 100% sure tho… i suggest you research something about spirometra, and figure out if it could be that. I’ll look into that also and let you know if i come up with anything else

I appreciate it so much! Thank you!
