The reason I ask is that parasites do not kill their host or use much food from their digestive system. The medication to deworm (as a warning) can cause liver or kidney damage to the animal. I say this because Ive had it happen a few times over the years. I stopped worrying about parasites because every monitor I dont get treated survived and is healthy. Its something to think about because some vets are out to get a few bucks for the deworming while your there for the check up. If the animal has a clean fecal exam there is no reason to ever treat it. That and a common source for pinworms are feeder crickets. Make sure the vet is a very knowledgeable herp vet (check the ARAV web site).
