If you're gonna give out info on meal worms and leos, at least make sure it isn't an URBAN LEGEND!

<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><BLOCKQUOTE>spit up the meal worms is that they have been known to eat their way out the stomachs of geckos.. Because if they aren't chewed all the way, they can stay alive. </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>

I can't recall on my fingers and toes that I have heard this one...
It is NOT true.

One of the biggest concerns with regurge in leos is letting them have too much food.
They should be fed just what they can take in with-in 5 minutes and then the rest removed.
Another concern is the fact that you do NOT have all the proper set-up supplies such as UTH , heatlamp, anything.
Reptiles need warmth to digest their food!
With no warmth the food becomes rancid and will come out the easiest way, which is usually out the mouth.

The leo should have a nice plump appearance, but since you have only had her for a few days, and without heat, then she isn't going to show any weight gain at all, especially with the regurges.
