Ok maybe not killer....

But, I have a spider plant in my enclosure in a plastic pot. I had put a couple pieces of tort poop in there to act as fertilizer but decided to dump them out. When I did I found these worms in the soil. I know my torts didn't poop them out but I was just curious if they get to them and eat them if it would be a problem. The largest one I pulled out was about 3/4 inch. Thanks for the help!

hey, those look like trout worms or just small earth worms...i wouldnt feed them to him if they were in his droppings..that might get him sick or expose him to bacteria that is not needed..but in general torts LOVE earth worms..mines go crazy over those worms

Thanks guys!
I just wanted to be sure they were safe since I saw one escaping through the bottom of the pot into my substrate.
