HELP!! Parasites?

My beardie Mars pooped in her food bowl. And there's a bunch of worms in it. I want to know if these are parasite worms, undigested BSFL, or worms that crawled in after she pooped. They are not squirming or moving at all. I fed her BSFL the other day, but they were not this large. Could they have gotten larger in her digestive tract? Her hot side is about 100 degrees, her cold side is 80, her UVB is 12-15 inches from her basking spot. I feed her mustard greens daily, sometimes kale and collard. Her current day time (lights on) is 14 hours.

They don't look like parasites to me, but rather undigested something she ate.

I had one person respond here is what they said
That's 100% vomit. Cut back on the worms and be sure she has time in the heat of the tank to digest food , don't feed large meals late in the day. She'll recover, give her a good drink .
