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?
Re: Regurg??? Is there a protocol?
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..
Re: Regurg??? Is there a protocol?
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.
Re: Regurg??? Is there a protocol?
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.
Re: Regurg??? Is there a protocol?
Yeah it sounds like it ate more then normal and had a sore tummy
my Leo won't even eat mealworms out of a bowl, man your lucky. I gotta feed him lg crickets off tongs lol..
