Lol. Poor guy was probably getting sloshed around on the way home, was stressed out as can be, and couldn't hold his lunch. My 22" rtcxtsn randomly vomits from over stuffing himself or eating things like gravel (like 3 times). At that size, you can smell that he puked and you have to change the water immediately before the ammonia spikes. Have fun with your monster. :D
