So I'm planning on bringing my beardie to the vet soon (Monday) to see if I can figure out his lack of appetite, but until I can, I decided to try and do a float test myself and see if I could find anything.
Well, I found this:

It looks like a mite to me? it also didn't move, so it may be dead, or something else entirely.
This wasn't the only one in the sample either, just the clearest.
Any help identifying it would be appreciated, I plan on doing more tests whenever he poops as well, so I'll update if I find anything else of note.

I'm not sure what that is. It doesn't look like the parasites I've seen. Do the others look just like this? It does kind of have the shape of a mite but it could just be some bug shell that isn't completely broken down. It's not necessarily harmful.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
