I’m gonna go with joshy on this... what are your temps like. If its not warm enough on the warm side and the gecko cant digest their food that great then yes they will sometimes puke it up. If this is occuring on a daily basis then yes you should seek a vet if possible.

In the day the temp on the hot side should be 88-92, and some go higher. They other one might just be more tolerant to cool temps but 80 is too low.

I would definately do a fecal test too. Parasites can make them puke. any normal vet should be able to do it for fairly cheap.
