Baby Veiled just threw up?

I was checking on him tonight as it looked like he was settling in for bed and when I got up to the cage I noticed it looked like he was gaging and I saw something drop from his mouth. I found it on one of the vines and it was two small partially digested crickets. We moved him around a bit today because of a new shelf we got for his cage but that was about 3 hours prior to him regurdgitating the crickets. We also handled him for about 10 minutes today. I'm just wondering if maybe we overloaded his system with excess stress or if maybe sometimes this is just normal. He is about 3 to 3 1/2months old by the way. Also not thinking about it at the time I never took pics of the crickets but there was nothing unusual about them. They were bundled together in clear slime and both had most of their heads and limbs gone from what I could tell. Any advise on what we could possibly do to help or if we are getting worked up over nothing would be greatly appreciated.
 
in addition to Kinyonga Qs, how big a cricket you are feeding to him?

We have had him for about a month now. He has been eating pinheads and just slightly larger then pinheads maybe 1/8" from local pet stores. I have been gutloading with crix feed and carrots. Also give them calcium fortified water gels. There isn't any substrate in the 65 gal reptarium and I have rocks to cover up the soil in the plants in his cage. All the plants in the cage are ones that have been recomended off of this board and I washed them extreemly well before putting them into the cage. Thanks for the help...:)
 
how big is the rock?
Any wood bark or chip on the potting soil you are using?

The Rock is all about the same size as my cham, and you can't see any of the potting soil due to the rocks. I'm 99% sure he didn't digest anything other then the crickets. He seemed to sleep just fine lastnight in one of his normal positions and he looks fine this morning also when he went running away from his misting.
