Ryan, Once a lizard is de-wormed, it is usually not repeated. That is to say, if one was treating a lizard with fenbendazole (panacur), the treatment is repeated once or twice every two weeks. Once that is done, that's it. It is, however, a good idea to have fecal exams done once again after six months, if those are clean, than you can go to every year or so. Chances are though, there won't need to be any more treatment. If you haven't had a lizard de-wormed at all, I wouldn't wait a year, after a year there may no longer be any reason to treat the lizard ( ) if you catch my drift.
Regards, Evan
P.S. Buy the parasite book "Understanding Reptile Parasites", like Bonnie said, great book. Very informative.
