    Take a deep breath and relax. Are you sure it's #2? What temps are you keeping the Leo at?

    its most likely regurgatated mealworms, not pooped. Sometimes they eat more than what their little bellies can handle. I've had a couple of mine do this before, you just need to not give them so many. Your gecko is and will be fine, as long as this isn't an every feeding issue

    That's what it sounds like to me as well. Sometimes they're like little kids, wolf them down too quick and whoops. Temps sound good.

    Sounds like regurgitation.

    Does anyone know if a lizard regurgitates if you need to take the same precautions as a snake? I know when a snake gurges you need to skip a feeding or 2 before you try to feed them again. It gives their stomach time to settle. Otherwise you just have more of a risk they will keep gurging. Are lizards the same or do you not need to skip meals for them.
