I rescued plated lizard this week, friday he ate ground turkey and strawberries he has had a few cricets as well then he didnt want to eat sat. so i offered him some today sun. still nothing then he puked all over his cage. at least i think it was puke, it just looked like juicy tukey, it smelled so nasty, uh is he sick or do they do this if they over eat, can they over eat, ive been doing research but never came across this stuff.
the people we got him from said they never game him the calcium i gave him some on his turkey, they also only fed him crickets and bread and his water bowl was growing green stuff in it :( no friut veggies... could this just have been to much at once, they had him for four years, if someone could help at all ty im really concerned now

Not sure if this applies to lizards also, but I know that if the basking temperatures for snakes isn't high enough they won't be able to fully digest the meal and will regurgitate it. Are the temps high enough?

It is also true in lizards, I would also be at parasites, if it is pooh then the smell would be a sign. Most Gerrhosaurs that I know of are wild caught animals and are not bred in captivity.
