I just came home from work and found a "lump" of what looks like regurgitated crickets. Rather large amount, too. I fed him around 4:30-5 pm last night. He ate a lot in comparison to normal. Heat lamps do not go off/get turned down until 8 pm. Anything I should be concerned about? I was told to feed them as much as they want to eat in a 15 minute period. Never seemed to give him trouble before. Now I'm worried about possible impaction etc. if he is, in fact, eating too much. Temp in basking spot is 100-101 right now. Need more warmth to help him digest better? Murcury vapor on timer and ceramic on thermostat.

Depending on his age you may need to raise that temp some. If he is a young dragon you want his basking site 105 - 110
