Parasite Identification, HELP!

[Reptiking94]

Well Ive had a russian tortoise about a year that I got from a reptile shop, he was probaly not captive bred but he looked healthiest out of them all, today I was giving him a bath and he pooped, as the poo kinda fell apart since it was really just balled up lettuce I noticed little stringy white things at the bottom of the bowl and immediatly thought it was a parasite, unfortunetly I didnt take pics so could you guys maybe post some pics of common parasites found in Russian Tortoises and maybe I could match one up with what I saw?

Without seeing them, it sounds like pin worms to me. Fairly easy to get rid of with Panacur.
