@ZEROPILOT

Congratulations to your new torts. Great that they are all right and healthy.
The last three that I inherited from another member were half tortoise and half parasite!
These are near perfect specimens of health.

Poor tortoises ! Have you seen parasites in their poop ?
Yes. One passed a shocking amount of them in a bath.
Generally, if you ever see actual worms, there's an issue. With a small "normal" load, only the eggs ever pass.
If you see living, whole worms, it's bad.
I don't worry about seeing some eggs. Without a microscope they're not easy to see.

I had TB (tuberculosis) and lost about a third of my lungs.
I also smoke which is really silly.
But I'm good now, just get a bit short of breath sometimes. :)
Still got a good few years left in me yet, i hope.
I hope so too

Thank you.:)
Poor wifey sometimes struggles a bit, too, part of the reason we moved to a hot country.
But we're happy and pretty active, really.
Not grumbling, we're far luckier than most.
I retired at 39 and have been pretty much just been having fun since.:)
And had an awful lot of fun before then, too.
it's a good life.
