I'd be interested to see answers
I've had my BD for nearly 2 years and have never wormed it.

I really dont think its necessary, unless like Dean said your BD already has worms.
It could be a WC iggy, in which case it would need it.

i think..and im not a big cat/dog person.. but isnt it just things they pick up from outside [or thie rmum] that causes the worms? i dont think any reptile kept in a viv [other than filthy condiiton] could under any circumstance need worming/develop worms.
