Good afternoon Jeremy!

It seems like he's gonna regurgitate sometimes. If he does, would that be a bad sing of illness or just that I am feeding him too much?

Hmmm. Could be either scenario really, but I would suspect that it is because you are feeding him too much at once. Sometimes you can push to much food into his mouth, and it takes them a few minutes to swallow it and it looks like it's coming back up. Obviously if he regurgs say an hour after a feeding, then you've got a problem.

I'm thinking of putting Duke in a smaller cage (65 gallon reptarium) with a few vines and bend-branches for a day or 2 with more than enough crickets in it.

I think this is a fabulous idea, and I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner! Sorry! If he is such a sensitive guy, maybe a smaller enclosure with lots of plants will make him feel more secure. I tend to keep my baby chameleons in a small cage for the first few months of their lives as I think that they would have an easier time locating free range prey insects. You could even go down to a 38gal reptarium as well and I think he would still be comfy in one that size. If you already own the 65gal version, then don't go out buy the 38gal, he'll be fine in that. Let me know how it goes.
Good luck! GO DUKE!

Oh... and here's an idea... count how many crickets you put in the cage so you know if he's eating or not.
