A beardie that is vomiting or regurgitating regularly should be examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. Potential causes may include an obstruction, constipation, tumor, incorrect diet or kidney/liver disease. Check in and around his mouth for redness, swelling, discharge or bleeding. If you see none, it may not be mouth rot. Check tank temps. Low temps can affect digestion in reptiles. Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 15-20 minutes daily. During the soak, gently massage his abdomen (front to back), to stimulate defecation. This will help if he is constipated. Stop feeding mealworms (too much chitin) for now and offer crickets or dubia roaches. Gut load them for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value.
