I performed a fecal float for my bearded dragon yesterday and I found several pinworm eggs and also this suspicious worm-looking thing. Could it be a parasite?
Magnification: 40x, methylene blue stain

They look like fibers to me. Not parasites.
Ruggero
agreed.

It would have been better if you could have gotten a high-magnification shot of each end.
I agree with Ruggero, tentatively. Most likey artifact. There is a possibility, however that it could be Strongyloids. Were there any embryonated ova in the specimen? Normally the only "worm" larvae you will find in a fecal float is Strongyloids. Bear in mind that these are different from Strongyles.
