Wouldn't reccomend it, the spider's bristles cause a rash when touched. Could hurt the chams.

I wouldnt do so on purpose, no. There are many types of wolf spiders, some bigger, some with a terrible bite. Dont know which type you are referring to, but generally speaking spiders should probably be avoided.

 

[Zen Reptiles]

Definitely no.

All spiders have venom, and it affects different animals differently for each species of spider's venom.

I lost a male veiled to a common house spider, bit him on the neck and he couldn't swallow food. It looked like edema but worse, with two puncture marks.

Wouldn't risk it.

some times I just love living in Denmark were the only two things you can´t use as chamaeleon food is Cervus elaphus and Vipera berus (pretty much)

That's true
