Worms In poop!

[Deagle50]

Hello Cham Fam I really need some help with this crappy situation im having (pun intended). It seems as though my 10 month old girl has worms?!
not sure if anyone has insight on this or what this could be caused by. Any info would be great.
Here is a pictures of the worms in question, and YES they move!


FULL DISCLOSURE: I purchased he at a reptile show in Riverside and I am not sure how well the breeder took care of her.

Any potted plants?

Im a bit concerned but she seems fine. She is eating and moving regularly. Im really hoping that someone has seen this before. It seems gnarly.

Any potted plants?

Yes just one right in the middle of her enclosure. She also has broken bird ladders for climbing. I didnt actually see the poop come out because I was at work so im not sure if they were in the poop or traveled from the plant. I dont really see anything in the plant though.

Dig through the poop, are they inside?

Awww man I didnt think of that! I just snapped the pic and flushed it. Ill save a dropping next time she passes one.
Are these worm typically found in potted plants?

Looking at the urate in the photo it looks like there are worms inside.

Vet asap!

Also-- if you're worried about poop DONT FLUSH IT! You need to take the poop to the vet to be examined!

And how can you say that with only 1 pic from the outside?

Thanks?

In all my years of growing plants never saw anything like that although it's not entirely impossible

 

[AnamCara]

Thanks?

Caps for emphasis! Not yelling I would have tossed it too poop is gross especially poop with worms.

Sorry but I’m a little confused by your response here. I know it be could fungus gnat larvae or something from the plant but are you suggesting that they don’t need to get a fecal test for their new Cham, that they got from a reptile show, from a questionable breeder given all we have learned recently?

 

[AnamCara]

And how can you say that with only 1 pic from the outside?

I say it because that's what it looks like to me? Just under the surface. Maybe not.

On second look they also could be on the top. Being slimy makes it looks just under the surface.

Schedule a vet, save the next poop, get it tested.

 

[Deagle50]

Thanks everyone! seems like the safest thing to do is take her to the vet for now. I hope she is ok and its an easy fix.
Even better i hope they werent really in her poop haha

See if you can collect something for the vet.
