Throwing up.

Okay, I have an 8 month old bearded dragon who I feed twice a day. On a morning he gets his veg and either mealworms or the smallest super worms out of the tub if there is any. On an evening he gets locusts.
I did the same as always this morning before going to college and left his lights on as usual. I got back and he'd done his usual toilet habits, and I cleaned it out. However, I came back up maybe an hour later and it looks like he's thrown up.
I'm not sure what to do, it's the first time he's done it. Should I be worried or could it just be a bit of an upset stomach? Do I throw the worms away in case its them? Do I feed him tomorrow the same as always? :eek: It's gotten me a bit worried...

It's not uncommon for a BD to periodically regurgitate it's food, generally it is related to overfeeding or poor basking heat. Other times just an upset tummy. It is not a problem to worry about unless it is an ongoing situation.

Thank you :) He hasn't ever done it before and he hasn't done it since the other day. I'll feed him live food today and see whether he does it again.

I've never seen a BD to throw up. I didn't know they did.

Neither did I haha, he hasn't done it since yet though :) Fed him yesterday. What I think he might've done cause he's greedy is ate a bit too quickly and got something stuck in his throat :eek:

You said it 'Looked' like it threw up. What did you find, was it undigested food\prey parts? Did it eat & keep it down today?

It was undigested bits of live food and a little bit of undigested veg. And yeah, kept all of it down today and I gave him a bath to make sure he was hydrated. :)
