I learned something about rosies here today. I kept a few rosies years ago and they developed regurge problems. I assumed from parasites, but likely I was wrong (even though they were wild caught). I unwittingly kept the cage bone dry cause they are desert animals. Seems I was dehydrating them and just for survival they drank too much water. I could have solved the problem with a simple moist hide and the opportunity to thermoregulate. Maybe some of these dry land species get all of their water from metabolic breakdown of food. If kept too dry, they suck it from the bowl like a sponge in order to try and hydrate and their system is not designed for that.
