black crickets, house crickets, silent brown crickets or banded crickets?

I have found that a lot of lizards don't like the taste of the black crickets and have seen them spit them back out.

Lizards rarely regurgitate unl;ess something is causing them too. It can be the taste, but its worth having him checked by a reptile vet for impaction/parasites. Let us know how he does and keep him hydrated as they lose fluid when bringing food up.
