I floated a FRESH (within minutes) fecal sample this evening and found what I believe to be Entamoeba invadens cysts.

Have a look I'll try to remember the power for each picture.

Bad news, but great shots!

I wish I could inspect my own lizards for parasites like that, and take pics of it to boot! Hmm, so what does this mean for your geckos? Is it something you can eliminate easily?
