I have always been jealous of the people that post their pictures on here for identification. I rarely have time for fecal floats but did one today.
This is what I believe to be a Fluke Ova, going by the color guide by Klingenberg. In the guide, the ova have numerous granular green parts to it, which was not captured in these photos. I found numerous of these things, taken from an adult Black Rat Snake. This picture was taken at 400x, with a digital camera held up to the eye piece.
