If he meant beardies....I wonder why he used the term herbivore instead of omnivore.....omnivore would still relate to the plant matter intake and digestion. I question the pinworm thing as I regularly have all my dragons fecals done and never had a pinworm found which I find strange if they have them naturally. I could see them being missed if their numbers are small, but after many fecals you'd think you find it occassionally. I will certainly keep it in mind and I certainly cannot prove it's not true.....but I would like to see some data concerning it....if you find any, please pass it on.....I'm sure we all would like to the incidence and test results. I also, consider that some individual reptiles that are hardy adapt to having parasites they shouldn't to survive and then they become needed....and so I wonder if his conclusions rule that out in his study animals. Anyway.....much food for thought.
