Is it possible for leos to get worms the way cats do from fleas?

[KevinAndSquirtTheGeckos]

:? I think my leos may be sick or have worms??

Take them to a reptile vet for best results.

Yes they can and you can take a fecal to a vet.

If you're feeding wild caught bugs from your yard that is possible

It is not likely. Fleas are not particularly hard to get rid of.

I assume your household has a host such as a dog or a cat ?

Yes, my house has several cats. Sometimes I find a flea or 2 in my lizards' cage, so that's why im concerned.

If your Leo has worms it would be fairly obvious. The poops would not look normal. The belly can be distended but the tail remains thin.

For smaller geckos that are still growing you will see where they eat lots of food but do not gain any wight.

Try treating the cats with Frontline or some other treatment that will control the fleas on the cats, that should clear up the entire household.
