worming is very complicated.there are many types of parasites, all of them require different treatment. you need to get a poo sample to the vet and ask them to check for parasites. IF he has any, the vet will treat them for you, and if you ask, show you how to do it in the future. if you dont have any experience in this type of thing then i really wouldnt suggest trying to self medicate a tortoise. and no one treatment is fully comprehensive against parasites.
