Throwing up meal worms

i am feeding my leo meal worms that are pretty small and the day after i feed him he is throwing up what looks like the exoskeleton of the meal worms. however it just seems to be the exoskeleton cause it is flat and it seems he is getting all guts out it.

my surface temps on the hot side are 94 degrees so he is getting belly heat to help digestion.

hes only eating about one a day and is still pooping.

if i had to guess (because i don't have a scale) i would say he is about 5-8 grams

should i be worried that he is throwing them up? does this mean something more serious?should i stay away from hard shelled worms from now on?

normally i feed crix but i haven't gotten a chance to go to the pet store to get any lately

if this is happening consistantly i would take him to the vet. bring a sample of his regurgitation and a sample of his feces.

Keep us posted please? How old is this leo? What's his/her history? How fat is his/her tail? These bits of information are helpful too, good luck with this one.
