Default Vomiting Dragon??? Help...

I just saw one of my beardies shaking its head as if it has something biting it and Ive looked in the tank and saw some recently eaten mealworms and a bit of fruit on the floor on the tank and on the branch. It looks as if it has vomited and spread it around the tank in the process. Is this a natural occurance or is it something to worry about? Anyone have any ideas please? My dragons are around 18 months old

I would always recommend that vomiting reptiles get looked at by a vet
Goodluck

Thanks I will see if I can see one tomorrow. One of my dragons is looking a bit sorry for herself so I guess that must be the one. I couldnt see which one was doing the shaking from where I was sitting and the females look very similar.

our first one did that as uv was not close enough to it check how far away it is,,make sure he can get close enough,,also mealworms can bite as swallow or in stomach until there head is damaged,
