I don't know of anything online for reptiles. But in my opinion, you could do more harm than good treating yourself. They are so small and need such a minute amount, it would be hard to measure unless you know the exact formula to figure it out.

also unless they even have worms (and some are microscopic that you cannot see) you could treat for the wrong things or miss things.

I feel much safer taking a stool sample once a year to a vet and getting them treated properly.

Good luck!

Most of the time our vet prescribes Panacure for our Uros, however they only need very small doses as this medication is used primarirly in large animals. Hope this helps.
