HELP!!
My femel Leopard Gecko-Zelda- regurgitated all of the silkworms I fed her! I have no idea why! If she might be sick? this is the first time she has ever eaten silkworms, and she ate about 10 small ones (about a cm long). When I went to check on her, about an hour or so later, they were spat up around her tank!!! Please tell me this is normal!!! -------------------- Owned by 3 Leopard Geckos and 3 doggies!

If they are new to her, she might have taken in too many too quickly, or her tummy might not be use to digesting them.
Try starting out by giving her just one or two next time along with some other feeders. Also, take a look at your tank temps and make sure that they are where they should be. Might there have been any handling right after she ate? This might also cause a regurge. If it has just happened once, I wouldn't worry to much; however if it happens again, you may have a more serious problem on your hands. -------------------- Whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, praiseworthy:
Think on these things!
