    Regurg??? Is there a protocol?
    This morning I awoke to one of my leo's regurging 5 mealworms. All in one clump. There were no fluids or anything with them...it just kind of looked like they were all "sleeping" in a clump.

    This is the first time I have seen a leo regurg. As far as I know they are both healthy.

    I have never read anything about leo regurg. Is there anything to be concerned about yet?

    I haven't heard too much of leos doing a regurge. I'd look into it for sure, see if you can find anything out about it happening to other owners..

    What are the temps in the tank and what type of thermometer do you use? Substrate? How old is s/he? Housed alone? How's the poop?
    Sometimes they just eat too much too fast, keep an eye out though...could be any number of things or nothing at all.

    I use an Accurite weather station. 95 F on the warm side 80~ F cool side. Two females housed together. Tile for substrate, they are about a year old now. Poop is normal. They both pooped last night. It is odd for them to finish their dish of mealworms. Last night I put about 20 in the dish. This morning there were two remaining. Usually there are more than that. Every evening I rotate them with fresh gut-loaded mealworms. Small meal worms.

    Here are some pics...

    Looks perfect, they're cuties too!
    Sounds like someone just ate too much. I'd not worry, probably just a one time deal. Keep an eye on her, obviously, but it is most likely nothing.
