Hi all,
so it's 3 a.m. and I just realized 2 things: 1 - I became addicted to posting on this forum every time I feel uncertain, and 2 - I am extremely paranoid and have great talent in imagining all kinds of horrible outcomes.
So, this just happened: I was transporting crickets from the small plastic box in which they are sold in the shop to the bigger container I use for them. The opening at the top is quite narrow and I kind of have to shake the crickets in it, and sometimes a couple escapes, therefore I keep the container in the bathtub during this process so the escapees can't run too far. As usual, a couple of crickets fell in the tub and I quickly picked them up and put into the container, only to realize a few seconds later that I was washing my hair earlier and there was still some soapy water at the bottom, like, the crickets didn't swim in it, but it was moist. Now I am afraid that the chameleon might eat a "soapy" cricket in the morning and get poisoned or something. Would the shampoo soak in the cricket somehow? Like I said, they were not all covered in shampoo, just walked on moist soapy bathtub floor for a second. Should I throw the whole batch away and get new ones, or am I just overly paranoid? Please, any sort of advice would be much appreciated...
