To start off, I bought-
Microscope (on Amazon) ~$85 (free shipping)
From Beautiful Dragons:
a box of microscope cover slips $8
a box of microscope slides $10
a 8 oz bottle of Fecasol $12
20 fecal testers $20
and the awesome Parasite ID Chart $8
------------------------------------------------------
It costs about $1/test to run a fecal float test. That's WAY cheaper than $45 at my vet's office.

Note #1- You can buy a microscope from Beautiful Dragons too but it's more expensive.
Note #2- You can probably buy cheaper supplies, but I like supporting Beautiful Dragons.
Note #3- You can also buy a lot of other awesome supplies from her store like meds to treat coccidia & pinworms, calcium supplements, syringes, food, etc. If you are into rescuing reptiles, then check out her store. Her prices are good and she's a quick shipper.
