I've had mine uros for just about 1 year and when i got them i took them to the vet and got them treated for worms. But now i fear they have tape worms. I took all the substrate out of my tank and they are on paper towel. They are going to the vet tomorrow. There both a year old and my female weighs 52 grams, and my males between 60 and 62 grams. They havent been gaining weight properly and i think i know why now. Hopefully i can get them cured and gaining weight and lenght. Here's a pic of their poop. Tell me what ya think. There's always a little pile of those white worms by there poop.

That's urates, not tape worms. Almost all lizards excrete a small pile. A vet check isn't a bad idea, though, you never know what you can't see.

They are worms if they wiggle around. Do they?
