Those are typical roundworms (Ascarids). The tortoise should be wormed to reduce the numbers in its gut since you are seeing them in its feces.Wtf is this worm? Looks like a piece of thin spaghetti. Found in the poop of a radiata tortoise I bought couple months ago . The shape and texture of the poop looks normal and this tortoise eats like a pig .

As the OP said in the second sentence of his post, it was found IN the fecal matter of his tortoise. If you look closely at the first photo, you can see a rather loose green stool with the worm(s) in it.My red wrigglers are, well, red. That looks either like a sickly red worm.....or something else. Do you normally find worms where you found 5his one? Or, was it in fecal matter.

Well, that's true, then there is the same species but different, I have those gray worms in hmmm, in the hole where I put the Sulcata poop. But I've never seen worms like that in the poop that I pick up, but my hole is filled with red wigglers and those gray ones that I thought were smaller night crawlers...Damn, I'd hate to think I that far wrong, wow I'm sorryMy red wrigglers are, well, red.
