Any microbiologists or parasitologists recognize this? It's from my pet bearded dragon in the eastern US and the vet's never seen it before.

$\begingroup$ Welcome to Biology.SE! Identifications questions should include: 1) the location (e.g. country and region — the more specific the better) where you observed this organism; 2) habitat information — e.g. from what type of lizard and from where in/on the organism it was isolated; and 3) an estimate of the size of the organism. Please edit your post to include this essential information. ——— Please also take the tour and then go through the help pages starting with How to Ask questions effectively on this site. Thanks! 😊 $\endgroup$ – tyersome May 30 at 23:35

It could be a whipworm, a common parasite in dogs with a flagellum. Check the image here:

$\begingroup$ Thanks. Afraid it's probably not that. What my lizard has is microscopic, whipworms are 3-5 cm. $\endgroup$ – ecologist1234 Jun 6 at 21:28
