Runny poop through microscope. Some kind of worm and eggs or something else?

I noticed my male gecko had runny poo, so I put some on a slide and took a look at it. There is a worm looking thing with lots of elongated, pointy ovals in and around it. The ovals remind me most of whipworm eggs, but they're just too long and pointy(and I think too small as well) and look like they may have a tail or two on one side. Is this some kind of worm I haven't heard of, some other type of parasite, or something benign? Shown at 100x, 200x, and 400x magnification.
