Adam,

You can prevent it by making the potted plant soil inaccessible for the crickets, or by not allowing more than a few crickets in there at a time (ie: only feed them what they'll eat immediately in front of you, and don't leave excess crickets running around). There's nothing necessarily bad about them running around in there unless they're getting into your house. Baby crickets won't "nibble" on a chameleon like an adult cricket can. Doesn't your mist system drown them all anyways? If you really have "thousands" of crickets, it's not because one or two female crickets is laying eggs in the plant. It would take a good number of crickets over a decent amount of time. Probably the easiest thing would be to make the plants harder to get into for the crickets and the problem should go away.
