Microscope

Does anyone with Bearded Dragons have a microscope ? Ive checked a sample of droppings from some new dragons and have a lot of motile organisms present , is this the norm or not.??

I'd be guessing that motile organisms in fecal samples are parasitic, some type of icky flagellate.

Ive done a lot of looking at pigeon droppings , the parasites werent flagellate. More a stick looking organism.

So no body else has a microscope?????

At what power did you magnify them? Was it a direct feacal smear of or feacal float?

It was a quick feacal float , they can be seen at 400x.
