Hi, I have recently purchased a Collard Lizard,

And I was wondering how many crickets to feed during feeding times

a couple of times I have fed 4 crickets.... when I checked her stool the next day it was the full cricket buy dead (obviously ha.)

How old and big is your collard?

She could be eating them too fast. If she is gobbling them up too fast it will be hard on her system. You might have to pace her a bit.

Size crickets, i really am not sure... I just bought some random container of multi sizes...

lately ive been giving her 2 crickets in the morning, and 2 at night.

You should be feeding crickets about the length of the distance between the lizard's eyes. If they are too big the lizards has trouble digesting them. If you are only feeding 2 crickets at a time you may be seriously underfeeding if you are feeding the correct size.
If what you found was an intact cricket it was most likey regurgitated and not a bowel movement. This could have been from the cricket being too big, the cage being too cold. or internal parasites.

Thanks for the information.

So 4 is too little in total for the entire day? if I feed it the crickets eyes length?

I know for sure the tank isn't cold.

I am thinking that it is the cricket is too big.

because most the time, shes fine... it just has been a couple of time... 2 days in a row 2 weeks ago.

Length or width between the eyes, however you want to look at it, I do think 4 is way to little. Get the right size and increase the amount a bit and she'll do fine.
