Abstract: Exotic pets adalah jenis satwa liar yang dijadikan hewan kesayangan karena memiliki ciri unik dan menarik untuk dipelihara, diantaranya yaitu ular sanca (Python reticulatus). Perlu mempelajari kemungkinan adanya cacing parasitik zoonotik pada hewan kesayangan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis, persentase, dan derajat infeksi cacing saluran pencernaan ular sanca yang dijadikan sebagai exotic pets. Sebanyak 5 sampel tinja dikumpulkan dari lima ekor ular dengan pengulangan sebanyak 3 kali pengambilan. Analisis sampel tinja menggunakan modifikasi metode McMaster, flotasi sederhana, saringan bertingkat dan Kato-Katz. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua ular menderita kecacingan (100%). Adapun jenis dan persentase kecacingan adalah Ascaris 60%, Trichuris 60%, Strongylid 20%, dan Oxyuris 20%. Rata-rata jumlah telur dalam tiap gram tinja (TTGT) adalah Ascaris 832 TTGT dan Trichuris 514 TTGT.
Exotic pets are wild animals kept as pets for having unique characteristics and attractive, among them are the reticulated python (Python reticulatus).
