I just started treating one of my leopard geckos for pinworms. She started shedding the worms (blood and all) in her poop today. The thing is, I can see the worms. I'm guessing they're not actually pinworms then. They were skinny and white, with the biggest one measuring just under one centimeter. Roundworms, maybe?



So now I'm wondering, how did my girl contract this parasite? I bought her as a gravid adult, so is it possible she got it from mating? Or from eating crickets?
