My nephew has just rang me and asked me to keep some poo. He has recently become a qualified vet but has chose to return to uni to do an extra year purely for reptiles. Currently he is looking into internal parasites of reptiles so has asked for some samples. Right on cue Bert provides us with a fresh sample and Nigel provided one earlier during the day as did Kevin. All 3 poos are being collected and extra containers are being given to me. A strange thing to ask for but really glad that someone wants to study reptiles and be able provide a good veterinary service for them.

The thing that concerns me is if he finds anything horrible but at the same time it will interesting to hear what he finds. They all eat, wee and poo fine and appear healthy. I'll have say to him that as payment for the poo he will have to treat any thing he finds ;) Don't know that he will agree with that though lol.
