Um... So... I finally moved Shelby to her outdoor enclosure... It's day 5 of her being outside even at night time. Well anyways, I've been keeping a close eye on her. Temperature (basking, cool end, hide and night) are good. Humidity a little hight but good. Eating habits, really good. Soaking every other day since she is new to her home.
Long story short, I had Shelby for her morning soak today. I saw her poop and it was nice solid poop. I left it there because usually she's calm about her soak until she wants to get out.
When she finally did, the poop soaked up the water, and I saw this little white almost transparent looking worm. looked like and wiggled like a baby earth worm. I placed Shelby outside, grabbed her food an went back to her little tub that I used. Scooped out the poop and placed it under a lamp and I looked for it. IT WAS GONE! Checked the water and IT WAS GONE.
Could this be parasite? And if so how worried should I be? I've had her for over a year and she's new to her outdoor environment. Could this be normal? What extra precautions should I take?
Please help. Kinda sorta freaking out here.
