does anyone know where I can purchase those super absorbant pellets used to make cricket water bites?

They are all over.
But I heard that they are not good for your lizards.
The gel drys and sticks to the cricket. Then the lizard eats
the gel and the gel swells back up in the lizards stomach
causeing problems.
Just passing on what I heard from who I consider a pretty
reliable source.
I am useing a lid with a sponge soaked in just plain water.
been working well for me. Just need to rinse and clean the
sponge.

I use shallow containers filled with small polished stones. Then I just pour in enough water to almost cover the stones. The crickets won't drown becase they sit on the stones--works fine. My experience has been that the crickets get stuck in the gel, creating smelly cricket goo. I've lost a lot less crickets since switching to the rocks/water. Just my experience/opinion.
