Re: [gecko]Fecal Smear Pictures

        It looks to me like both of your animals have pinworms (Oxyurid 
sp.). The thing that you feel looks like a Strongyle looks like fecal 
debris to me. Your smear is a bit thick. I would try to thin it out with 
more saline. Pinworms are very common in leopard geckos. None of the eggs 
are Capillaria. Capillaria is operculated on each end and that egg was not. 
It was a typical Pinworm egg.
