I would get the next poo out with mabye a disposable fork, just put a smaller water dish in for a couple days so he can't poo in it, then take the feces to a good herp vet for an exam (usually $10-$15). Make sure the poo is no older than a day, To keep it fresh over night put it in the fridge [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] . Exams are usually pretty quick, 20-30 min, so you can usually get the results right there. Does the monitor eat any live rodents, if so I would get him over to frozen, as live rodents can pass internal parasites like the ones you suspect. -Juggalo
