Lost his lunch?

What would cause a healthy male panther (2yrs old) to throw up super worms after just eating them? It literally looked like he ate them too quickly or too many. Does that happen? (He's perfectly fine now and is a little fatty :rolleyes:). But has any one else experienced this?
 
Chams have small stomachs and no sphyncter muscle that closes the stomach off from the esophagus. Possibly he did eat too many at once (some will gorge on something if it's a favorite) and couldn't "fit" them all in his stomach. One might have been alive still and its movements triggered him to get rid of it.
 
Eyes bigger than his belly. Supers are something to feed very few of (at one time) and only one at a time.
 
An adult chameleon should not be eating much of anything in one sitting, or he may become obese. What is your feeding schedule?
