What type species of tapeworm and strongyloides did the vet conclude? Some species of tapeworm have a life cycle of 6-8 weeks and other take 6-7 months. Strongyloides species can live from 400 days to longer. Coccidia is also capable of living for long periods of time without any symptoms showing in the reptile, but can become severe under stress by the reptile.
