I have a trio of yellow ackies - they are all 07 and about 10" - I have noticed one of them regurgitate from time to time. They all seem healthy and active. Is this normal or something i should be worried about?

Regurgitation is not normally dangerous but if it happens often it can dehydrate the animal, take a fresh stool sample to your vets and ask them to check it out.
It could be some thing as simple as too much food and/or too low temps/basking temps for proper digestion

Another cause is feeding insects which are too big.

ah the latter makes sense as my rep shop ran out of my usual size crickets so I use a larger size and it was after that - that i noticed the regurge.

My basking temps are good - so i will feed smaller, keep and eye and take a sample to the vet

cheers guys
