Boo hiss. Chomper (the rescue guy) had bugs in his last BM; the next one's going into the vet for a fecal, but the sample was dry-ish by the time I foudn it and they said it was too late to run one on that. It looked sort of like little white worms; not tapeworms, more like maggots. Very, very small maggots.

Until I can get my vet a fecal I'm going to have to treat him as a quaruntine animal. I'm just worried about how this vectored into my collection. Nothing else is showing similar symptoms. Even Chomper seems totally healthy, except for this...



What are the odds something buzzing around just laid eggs in his poop, versus him having internal parasites? I didn't I've had him a while now and this is a first. I dealt with protozoans once way back in a vine snake and that sucked hard...but it didn't look anything like this either so *shrug*
