One of my baby sirtalis was eating today, and she ate two small earthworms (wild caught, not red wigglers)... then she proceeded to regurgitate one of them, and started to regurgitate the second one...

She crawled around with the second regurgitated worm hanging out of her mouth, dragging it against the floor like she wanted to get rid of it, but never quite doing so.

Then she re-ingested the end that was hanging out, re-ingested the one she had upchucked, and then went on to eat a third one.

It may be that she merely ate too fast, but I did want to check with forum members to see if there is any reason to be concerned?
