what does puking mean?

[peppered...leopard]

So, if a leo pukes after chowing down does that mean it has crypto? Or another parasite? Does it mean that it's sick and didn't just overeat?

i would suspect overeating and cool temps could do it. stress, disease and other factors could also be involved. make sure the temps are right, give the animal plenty of fresh water and next feedings take it easy and feed smaller items or fewer items. check the stool to see if it's normal too. that's a good indicator. if it continues happening, you may need the assistance of a vet.

good luck!

The other thing you might want to try is slowing the eating by offering a few food items at a time, and waiting a little bit between offerings.
