throwing up everything

Hello,

I recently acquired a dragon that is an import. Upon arrival he ate superworms and drank a little bit of water. The next morning I noticed he threw up the worms and pooped (feces looks fine). I fed him crickets and he threw those up. I gave him more water and he drank a lot, then when he went up to bask he started choking and then threw up the water as well. He is very active and attentive. I've been in contact with the person who sold him to me and I'm trying to see if maybe she gave him something to empty his stool for the trip, but in the mean time I just wanted to see what I could do. I've been trying to keep him as hydrated as possible, but he can't drink too much or he'll throw it up :(

He's a 10 inch male witblits housed in a 40 gal breeder with 24 inch reptisun 10.0, and 75 watt heat bulb at about 96 in hot side and 87 in the cool side and i'm using newspaper for substrate.

I'd bump the basking temps up to 105 or so, see if that helps him feel a bit better. It almost sounds like there is a impaction, give plenty of warm baths and try to get some olive oil into him, even if its only 2 or 3 drops at a time.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
