Where possible test each individual animal.
A group of Leopard tortoises or Leopard geckos housed together for a long time for example is the ideal "group testing". Group or flock monitoring is good practice for animal and public health.
If parasites are detected that require treatment, we would not know the levels carried by each individual and therefore testing the individuals may be necessary.
