i just caught a wolf spider in my house in illinois. I want to feed him to malcom... what do ya think?
 
yeah thanks, my cham ate a house fly and seemed to LOVE it, i think he enjoyed the hunt..:D

You should do a little search before feeding anything. 1.) You have no idea what that spider has been eatting. Could be poisonous to your cham. 2.) Ask you self and do research is this (insect) located where my cham is located?
 
I'm with eisentrauti. It should be fine. Normally, stuff you catch in fields is frowned upon because it may be heavy with pesticides, but normally a house spider is ok.

Yeah, chams love flies because they move around so much. Although, blue bottles really don't give them much nutritionally!

Not to change the subject, but I would say that you have a bigger problem to worry about right now. Did you say wolf spider? Those suckers are nasty and can get huge. We're talking tarantula big. And tuff, too - my mother dropped a 5-pound weight on it from above her head and it just walked away. :eek: Seriously man, I would be checking around the house to make sure there's not more than one.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I just had to interject that.....

And where in Illinois?? Don't be sending them my way....:eek:

sorry thats just a rediculous statement. (sorry if i didn't pick up on the sarcasim) but, you can drop a 5 lb weight on my head from just 4-5 feet above my head and I'm unconcious and bleeding. There is NO spider in the world that could take that........................... see what you've started...;)

Spiders have a hard exoskeleton.... sure you think you've crushed it, but if you leave it there you come back later and it's gone.
 
never underestimate insects and arachnids.
Some beetle can carry 800 times its weight. :)

Plus, i think it's not sarcasm; but, rather, it is a hyperbole.
:D sorry.. Sometimes i am too technical.
 
LOL dodolah.

I've smashed certain spiders around here 3 times in a row, they un-smash themselves and walk away...
