Routine Parasite/Worm Treatment?

[newdragonmom23]

Hey All,

I was just wondering if bearded dragons should be treated routinely for parasites and/or worms? I have read much on here about the misery that parasites and worms can cause. So, I wondered if routine deworming schedule is a good idea?

Thanks in advance!

I have heard that the medications are very harsh on them and there are different meds for different infections so I wouldn't. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.
I took a stool sample for a fecal after purchasing my baby and plan to take another one this fall around the time brumation starts just as a precaution. I will do that yearly.
