I will forgive that you may be less dedicated to the study of my posts. But if you are less dedicated to quoting me accurately, I will correct you.



Many of these worms are not seen excreted in stool very often. Either due to remaining in the host for longer, or because they are hard to spot unless closely examining stool all the time. Therefore I think many people are mislead about the presence of parasites in their animal.



I am aware that parasitic infestation can come in forms other than nematodes, however, it is precisely because nematodes attach and remain that I addressed them. It is also because they are also common to Horned Lizards and Harvester ants and have been addressed more frequently by the various Horned Lizard authorities than any other parasite.



I didn't throw this out for the inexperienced to try Cable. Had you in fact done due diligence to study my posts, I think you would find that I have always given that caveat. Never recommending that the inexperienced try it, and to seek an experienced herp keeper or reptile vet if they were not.



I merely responded to treerich's question about information in my care sheet. That did not mean that I advocate him or everyone out there try it at home if they have no experience.



I have been to reptile vets. Yes, they are nervous about treating HL's. They are mostly scared of any liability, or are unsure of their status because with most people it pops-up as a "no no" item. The one's I have seen or talked to knew less about HL's than I did.



I agree that Lou is on to something, if I can get an accurate measured dose from the paste.



I can only offer anecdotal evidence myself as it relates to my experience with HL's. I would say it has had beneficial results with those treated. Perhaps I can come up with something more in depth about those results soon.
