i want to know if this happens to more than atleast one.

well my bosc monitor was only about 6month old and sadly it died
during the night. our first thought was that it had choked on a cricket
what must of been in the viv overnight and it got greedy and decided to eat it
and chocked. But we werent sure and we checked in the mouth and we were correct. It kinda p****d me of alot and i kept hitting myself thinking and teling myself it was my fault. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
Sad

A six month old savannah monitor should be large enough to swallow a large mouse without choking, never mind a cricket. My guess is that there's a bigger issue here than the cricket. Describe your setup, or post a photo of it.
