Never seen this before...regurgitated worm?

[Khrysty]

is that what this is? Anyone know why they would have done that? It's in Spike and Morgan's viv so idk which one did it. There are nearly no mealies missing from the bowl so I'm guessing one of them didn't eat last night, and the other ate, but then threw it up? That's strange..

I can't say for sure what the issue is, but I have seen this happen in the case where a gecko will stuff itself and have to regurgitate a bit. I would worry if the problem persists. Best wishes for you and your Leos.

Yeah, except thats the only mealworm that was eaten. My females are gravid, and I think are about to lay, could it just be that her eyes were bigger than the room in her tummy?

Yes, they often go off of food during ovulation.

Little update: the girls have since eaten everything that was in their bowl and didnt have a problem keeping it down this time. I'm glad they're eating fine now, but I wish I knew the reason behind the regurg yesterday
