If it's impaction, put it in a luke warm bath and gently massage the stomach towards the vent.

i think it might be impaction? not sure if it can be helped.

I have never heard of impaction causing vomiting. sometimes when they drink to much they may vomit it back up. I've heard a case of a dragon gaging/vomiting from RI too. Does it walk funny or straining when going to the toilet?

what are your temps?
do you feed insect from the garden/house?
do you let it run around outside?do you wash your veges?
ive NEVER heard of inpaction causing vomiting.

With the risk of getitng howled down and starting an argument, maybe get rid of the sand.

temps good, might be impaction was straining a bit, and both have been moved to tank with no sand. they are not my dragons. im babysitting them for my nephew, i personally have a python and 2 turtles and i know how to deal with them. but lizards are new to me.
