    id like to put some plant life in my geckos tank. i have a potted basil plant i figure the crickets could munch it and it would look pretty for my peatree to look at do u think it could harm her or the crickets in her tank?

    crickets should be kept in the tank for no more than 15 minutes so i dont see much of a point in having a plant in there for them to nibble on

    Crickets have been known to bite sleeping geckos. They also eat the geckos fecies which then the gecko eats by eating the cricket causing bacteria.
