Hi-



I'm new to fecal floats and just wanted to see if anyone could identify any eggs in this picture. I referenced Understanding Reptile Parasites and don't really see anything that matches up. The big circle in the middle is what has me most concerned.



The picture was taken at 400x and this sample was taken from a ball python that is feeding on live mice.



Thanks for any help



HJT
