Hey Jesse,
I also run a nonprofit reptile rescue. We do all of our own fecal testing. We also sell all the supplies on our website, including the microscopes. It's a great investment and has saved us hundred this year so far.
We check all newly rescued reptiles for parasites by doing a fecal float. If I find something that I can't match to my parasite ID chart, then I take the slide to my vet. That rarely happens anymore. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. The only thing I can say is that I wish I would've learned to do my own fecals years ago when I started rescuing. I could've saved thousands in vet bills.
Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help.
Hugs,
Veronica ----- Beautiful Dragons
