Ok so this is the first time ive ever seen anything like this, we just recently moved and i already expected her to poo alot so we put her in a carrier and took her to our new home and when i looked inside and saw her poo there were MILLIONS of worms in it, we've been trying to find a reptile vet but i haven't seen any worms in her poo ever since?? I dont know what to do and im really worried

You could bring a fecal sample to the vet and have it tested. They would be able to let you know exactly what you're dealing with. Once you know what you're dealing with, you could seek advice on whether or not treatment is advisable or not.

How long was she in the carrier? If more than one day, could it be maggots? Some flies can lay eggs and they will hatch in 24 hours. Were the worms like small thin white earthworms, or more like tiny white mealworms?
