UM can bearded dragons throw up?

[anonymousn3rd]

My beardie ate about three superworms either yesterday or the day before (I don't give him them everyday) and he really seemed to enjoy them. Yesterday and this morning he had a black beard and today when I got home for lunch break there was this in his tank. He pooped yesterday and I soaked him for about 10 minutes this morning. He seems to be doing fine now except he still has a black beard. Please any advice you have would be appreciated.

yes - they can throw up. how old is he? what's his normal diet? what are the viv temps - cool, warm and basking?

I don't know how old he is, I bought him from someone who was not taking the best care of him and he did not tell me when I asked. He is definitely full grown though. Normally he eats mostly crickets and a little bit of collard greens as our local pet store doesn't have anything besides crickets, superworms, and wax worms. His basking spot is about 100 degrees and cool is probably about 80 but I don't have a thermometer over there to measure.

Thank you so much for replying, I was freaking out!! I have never had this happen before haha

do you know why this might have happened? he ate a TON of crickets (probably twice as much as normal) the day before yesterday for some reason, could he possibly have over-eaten?

sounds like he porked out! my girl has done that once - i learned to feed her more slowly.

Thank you so much for the reply! I will make sure he eats more slowly from now on haha
