I went to go mist my toad this morning and I discovered a long worm in his water dish, it's very thin and about 2 inches long. Definitely wasn't expecting to see it so I'm a little spooked. Is this cause for concern? If so, what can I do to make sure my little guy is alright?

Do you suspect it came from the feces or does it look more like an earthworm?
There are organisms called grindal worms that often live in humid vivariums, but these are not usually as long as you described. There are also small "worms" which inhibit the soil called nemerates.
Could you get pic? there are so many things which look like worms, and without a pic its hard to identify.
