This is going to ruffle some feathers. Yes you can buy panacur but, Don't. Get your torts checked by a good reptile vet and research your worms first. The reason, besides bad worms, your torts gut is loaded with good fauna and flora your pet needs in his gut. If you treat with panacur you eliminate all of them, good and bad. My vet said he does not like to worm torts, because of this. If you get your tort checked and he is loaded with protozoa and stuff, go ahead and get him dewormed, but let him eat outside dirt soon after, this will reestablish the good bacteria. If it is just mild pinworms and such, I would let it go. Know your worms and bacteria though, your vet most likely will want to worm, for the extra cash.
