Vomiting is a serious symptom in reptiles. When a reptile regurgitates, it is usually due to one of the following conditions: too cold too stressed food/prey too large food/prey spoiled systemic infection high levels of protozoans or parasites disturbed too soon after eating obstruction in digestive tract Check the enclosure and room temperatures and all of your husbandry to make sure everything is 100% correct (diet, temp, lighting, humidity, etc). Please refer to this article: ( http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Bearded-Dragon/ ) I do think you need to be worried so if his symptoms persist for longer than 48 hours he needs to be seen by a vet. He could have aspirated down into his lungs when he vomited which can cause a serious pneumonia if not treated promptly.
