Ahh! Baby just threw up!!!!

I just posted an update a little while ago, saying how well the baby was doing. I guess he wasn't doing as well as thought. I have had my other geckos regurgitate before, but I have never seen it happen. He scared the heck out of me! I thought he was just yawning, then I noticed that he still had his mouth open as he walked away. Then all of a sudden he opened wide, and a ball of meal worms shot out of his mouth. Now, what I want to know is why it happened. I know they do it when they over eat, and I am pretty sure that's why he did it this time. My fiance said he ate about five 3/4inch mealies today, I flipped out because that is way too much for him to eat. He seemed fine though, and we never had any problems like this with Boo and Popeye. I am going to cut down to two mealies a day for him, is that enough? Also are 3/4 inch mealies too big? Any advice will be greatly apprecitated. Thansk in advance.

sounds like he just made a pig out of himself. I would cut him back to 2 or maybe 3. If he is getting them down ok 3/4 inch mealies should be ok.
