At 9" I think 1/2" crickets should be OK but no bigger and they will grow while you have them. As a rule of thumb crickets should have bodies no longer than the distance between a dragons eyes. I personally would buy smaller crickets in your case. At 9" I'd still be buying 3/8" since they will be 1/2" by the time I feed them all out. I also think you should list your setup specs. I have never had a dragon regurgitate food and am not all that quick to say that the crickets were simply too large.

Are you misting him and dripping water on his nose regularly?

Are you supplementing with Calcium? What Brand? No Phosphorus right?

Is the basking spot 110? and the cool side 80 or so?
