can a chameleon eat a spider?

[madi]

hey there are these little grey spiders that got on one of my ficus when it was out side wondering is it safe to put in the cage. only has one or to because i washed it.

I wouldn't put a plant with visible insects in with my chameleon.

It's possible that it's safe for the chameleon to eat that type of spider, but why risk it?

If it were me, I'd keep washing that plant until I was sure there were no spiders on it.

It will be fine. If they arent black widows or brown recluse there shouldnt be much of a threat especially since they are small. I wouldnt worry about it. I feed mine lots of species of spiders all the time.

Spiders will make the chameleons eyes explode!

J/K, I am in a joking mood.

Seriously, they can handle most spiders. Just keep the T's away.
