I agree. Take him to the vet ASAP. When they regurgitate, there is always a chance of aspiration and a resultant respiratory infection, in adition to other potential underlying problems that caused the regurgitation in the first place, including impaction and intestinal parasites or infection.



You also need to check your basking and ambient temps. I don't know for sure about uros, but I know that other desert and semi desert species cannot process food without the right basking temps.



What are your basking temps and how are you measuring them?

What is your cool side temp and how are you measuring it?



Also, what are you using for substrate?
