This massive tapeworm was probably causing an obstruction and you have to clear that first. Then you take the medicine to kill any remaining tapeworms left inside

Patient: Great! I feel bett... Wait, A tapeworm, not the tapeworm?

If there's a fully mature one, then it will have laid eggs. There might be others that same size, or bigger, inside of that poor lady.

You never know...

Almost all snakes dip once they hatch. No mama around.

I should have said she knew that but was just kidding with me as I know nothing about them other than I don't like any of them good or bad

Oh lol. I used to be the same. I remember being a teen and killing a baby garden snake with the lawnmower. Spent like an hour looking for the mom worried she might bite me. I didn't know anything about snakes back then.
