Hi!
Just found worms on my female elongata poop:(..
Can someone pls help me identify this worm and what kind of suspension can i give her? I am very far from a reptile vet and i want to give her a first aid first. I have read about panacur. But i dont know if i could find it here. And would it be effective?
I think there are 8 worm s on her poop , she is 6 1/2". Everything looks fine she roam around the garden, but she wont eat alot of greens and like to eat banana so i mix it with some grass, mixed greens and zoomed grassland diet. just found a couple of worms too yesterday after i gave her ruellia tuberosa leaf the other day.. the tortoise table said it has anthelmintic properties so every month i give a couple of leaves to my sulcatas as a natural dewormer . And my elongata is the only one that has worms. I just got her a two weeks ago..
I hope someone can help me. This is the first time that happen to me and reptile vets here in the philippines are very hard to find.. here are some photos of the worms. thanks in advance!

Take it to the vet but also feed the tort natural dewormers. Garlic works best because that is by far the strongest natural dewormer, even used in humans.
