Nematodes are frequently encountered during routine fecal examinations . The most common parasites is the pinworm (e.g., oxyurids) which are usually nonpathogenic.

Furthermore, oxyurids have a direct life cycle and can reach high numbers within the colon, particularly in herbibvorous iguanids, putting the lizard at high risk for impaction.
