Hi, I agree with Cirsisue on this one. You need to know what you're treating for and how bad of an infestation is it. Then you need to know which wormer works best. Then you need to know exact body weight to figure dosage. You need correct length and frequency of treatment. Fecals will need to be re-checked to make sure the problem is over. As far as just a routine worming, I don't think that is good either. In the first place Igs don't seem to have as much of a problem with internal parasites as many other herps. This is probably due to being herbivores rather than feeding on live prey. At any rate I see no need to upset the natural gut flora with out reason. Good Luck, Iguana03
