 All of my Agamas keep dying!

I started with two I bought at the pet store, both of them died and the pet store kept replacing them. I’ve gone through 5 and they have all died. The habitat is just great! Ceremic tile, heat decorations 30 gallon tank. None of them would really eat much and they all just suddenly died, I found them all just lying there with their arms folded to their sides dead. What culd have happened? The fist 4 had blood mites/mited and worms that they were being treated for.The pet store did say that they were wild caught after I got them all, big mistake for buying them in the first place. But you think the pet store would quit getting them? NO!!!

What could have happened? Any idea or anything would be great!

Also, none of them liked to be handled. One even bit me once. I offered them Blabtica dubia and lobster roaches.

What kind of Agamas were they? They could of been Japalura Splendida which requires a tropicalish environment.

Prepare for the questions....

1.Did you have UVB?

2.What was the temps in the cage?

3.Did you use calcium supplements/vitamins? If so, what kind?

4.Could they have been two males?

5.How old were they?

Sorry to ask so many but I hope I can be able to help at least a little bit.
