Tape Worms ?

UroFanatic24 Mar 03, 2004 02:18 PM

I'm asking you guys because im getting 2 snow in a week and i will be on this forum alot and i have been reading on it and now that beardies have the chance on tape worms too and was just looking to see your input. I've had my 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 are 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.

Those do look a lot like tapes to me. Do they actually move around? If they do I'd bet that's what they are. I say this because we have a dog with tapes right now, and that is exactly what they look like. Just get them to the vet and make sure nothing from their cage or they themselves come into contact with your new guys and all should be well.
