Which parasite?

What is this?

She is feeding on crickets, mustard greens and I just found out she has mites or ticks again. They are red little football shape bugs under her scale.

She is currently being treated for that.

Today she is getting her bath for the mites/ticks thing, I see her poop is NOT normal.

very small rice grain shape things is filled in her poo. about 2mm long maybe? Along with cricket heads.

I would love to take her to the vet here but unfortunally they are 2 hours away from me and its hard to get her to poo and keep the sample in time for her appointment.

Oh yeah by the way she is normal. Nothing wrong with eating or moving. Only problem is pooping time frame is not the same. Um... She has laid her first clutch two weeks ago to.

Weight lost from eggs is normal compared to the other girls.

Not gaining weight just yet.
