Threw up! HELP

[ZephyrasHuman]

My Jojo threw up. What should I do? God, this week has been the worst for me. Should I take a sample of the throwup, what should I do with her, any advice would be greatly appreciated

Don't panic, yet. I know that's not easy to do. Both of my girls have done that once. With Rosie her temps were off and she was just about 8.5 inches long at that time. With Goldie, she was really hungry and had eaten 9 supers, whole within a minute or two. She threw them all up the next am, all whole and dead so if anyone tells you supers will chew their way out of a beardies stomach, it's impossible Any way I'm sure there are a few other reasons for your beardie to throw up. Temps and eating to much at the same time are only two. How long had he been basking since eating? They need at probably 2 hours of basking at at least 95f to 110 (the 110 is more for babies, and closer to 100 for adults) after their last meal.

Well, she ate yesterday. I gave her mealies because we ran out of crickets, along with my other 3 smaller beardies. She always eats a ton, but I didnt feed her that many mealies yesterday as I only had 25 left between 4 beardies, so she didnt eat as much as she usually does. As for temps, I don't know. My mom refuses to get a thermometor for me (I drive next month so I'm gonna buy them on my own time) but her temps havent changed I don't think, the bulb is the same and everything. She was an abused beardie; kept in a shoebox for a year, and maybe her health is coming back to her? I don't know. My mom won't take them to the vet unless they seem really sick. I have the throwup in a bag at the moment...I'm just really worried. So many things have happened to me this week and its just like ugh. ._.

edit: Today, the beardies have only been basking for 4 or 5 hours. My mom, who is supposed to turn their lights on, didn't, and I didn't get home until 9. (this is not normal for them) Could that be it? All the others seem fine...I just don't know.

Now Steel just threw up. I'm really scared. Could it be that the meal worms were bad? I'm scared. His beard is all black and his tails turning black and he seems really sleepy...

Sorry to hear abt your beardies being sick...I don't know what to do, but maybe they just had an upset ..how's their behavior? That might b your biggest clue as to how serious this is.

jojo seems fine but steel is acting lethargic

It could be the mealies, especially since two beardies have thrown up now. If I remember correctly, Barbara (Zak-n-Wheezie's mom) had that problem last year when she had to buy superworms locally as she was running out of the ones she breeds. They were bad as several beardies had stomach problems and only those that had eaten those particular superworms.

Thankyou for all your help and I also talked to Amanda from Atlanta Bearded Dragons and she helped me alot. They all seem to be doing better now (The ones that were sick). The other two that ate the mealies seem to be doing fine, but one of them did only eat one so that would probably be it. The other one isn't eating her food so she might throw up. I put Steel and Jojo on a low number of crix today because of the fact that they threw up and I do not want to upset their stomachs. I slept with Zeffie last night because she was making a Tsss noise like Steel was the other day and would only calm down if she was with me, and Jojo was making the Tsss noise too so I took off my shirt and put it in her cage which made her go right to sleep. Hopefully this is a better start for them.
