problem: there was mold in the crick bin. think from too much wet feed. will she be ok?
 
She should be fine. The mold was in your cricket bin and not in your enclosure; so unless you are feeding dead moldy crickets there is no exposure to your cham. Also, mold is everywhere and is normally found in the air; but you don't want it growing in your cricket bin. Just take out whatever the mold is growing on and reduce the amount of moisture in your cricket bin. Mold is always the result of moisture.
