    Stool sample- anyone know what this is?

    I checked out a stool sample under a microscope and found some strange fibers. They look like straight worms that don't move. My snake had worms before but they looked different and moved, he was treated and was ok, but now I find this. Anyone know what those strands are? Thanks!!

    Just a wild wild guess... What are you feeding? Could it be hair ?

    It does look a lot like hair. The "root" end is jagged close up. I've been feeding them pinkies almost exclusively, but I did feed them some mice about 3 weeks ago. Occasionally I'll get them some feeder fish to catch. Thanks!!
