Some months ago we were asking about making fluotations of tortoise "poo" because we thougth that our tortoises could have some kind of parasite.

Now, in their feces we found this parasite, like 5-8cm. We have tried the identification with some books, but we don't have enough experience, so any help would be great.

We could try fenbendazol/panacur [I think that's only spanish name] as treatment
