With the high risk of transmission of worm eggs via bird droppings how many people treat their pets (read tortoises, snakes and lizards depending on which is appropriate) kept in outdoor enclosures ?
And if you do, what do you use ?

If animals are kept in densities above normal/natural, then it seems to me, likely, parasites could be a problem. One reptile I "worm" at least once a year are the tortoises we keep. They must frequently be eating worm eggs, as they eat there greens. I have read that pinworms are common in tortoises and are easily transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Luckily it is easily treated with panacur which is easy to get hold of and very safe.
