Just had my cats dewormed and I was wondering if I should be deworming my snakes and lizards too?

It's called parasite flush, if your reptiles are imported or wild caught you should consider deworming, If you own a bearded dragon you should deworm once every 3 to 6 months, but you can deworm all your reptiles if you want, it's your decision, it could only be benificial.

You can get Parasite Flush to deworm your reptiles with. It is specifically designed for reptiles.

Just check with your local vet if you can use it on all your snakes, 'cause there are certain snakes (like King snakes) that you can't use it on.

I strongly discourage you to deworm your dragons every 3months.
