Nah, black widows are venomous not poisonous. Venom has enter the blood stream to cause be harmful so eating it shouldn't hurt him.

thesurlymermaid
So this is probably a dumb question but if they eat a poison spider does it make them sick? I know almost nothing about reptiles.
skwint
Snake venom is basically snake saliva, and it is a deadly venom to snakes of the same species, but they swallow it all the time just fine.
ohmyapplepie
Do you feel thoroughly educated on the difference between poisonous and venomous now?
Dilophoraptor
Spiders are Venomous, Not Poisonous. If they get bit and the fangs break through than any reptile not immune would probably get sick.
juggernaut1
I mean I'm sure sometimes the spider can bite the lizards tongue and cause damage.
Fireanole
That's true, but usually they're already in shock from being crushed.
jackbinimbul
Spiders are not poisonous. They are venomous. And no, stomach acid destroys it.
AuBoss
A spider is venomous not poisonous.
nicholcm
Also not knowing a lot, but my guess is that either they wouldn't eat them as most creatures have warning markings telling other creatures+
that they are dangerous and not for eating, or the reptiles stomach acids will neutralize the poison - not sure which though
mechanicalchaos
The stomach acid one for the most part.
Draconiene
Mine ate a bee once, totally chill. So idk man
VigorousButtstuff
Nah. Hell, Horned Lizards in Texas actually specifically eat fire ants to store up their poison, which they shoot from their eyes.
Gorsoo
I can only find articles saying that they spray their own blood, not fire ant poison, can you give me a source?

Madosheet

youtah
Yes but does the venom, which has to be stored somewhere in the spiders body, become poisonous?
GrungirStoneheart
No.
ApexAlpha
Depends on creature. Directly injected into flesh/bloodstream is very different to being dropped into a bath of hydrochloric acid.
ryanmason
I think venom generally does damage because it gets into the bloodstream, so theoretically, it's safe to eat. Unless you have an ulcer.
I just have a really time envisioning that ingesting (for example) snake/spider/whatever venom would be "safe."
"Safe" probably wasn't the best word to use, but venom ingested would most likely be much less effective/harmful than venom injected.
XenomorphZZ
I think it depends on the venom, as the ideal is that your digestive enzymes and acids would deactivate the venom.
ScaryScarab
I would be more concerned about how digestible the spider actually is...mealworms are bad enough to give to reptiles on a regular basis
I doubt one spider every once in a while is too bad for it, unless it's infected with parasites or something.
Most spiders have parasites and/or small living organisms around their body, it's just the way they are. Google can say it better than I.
LifeOfCray
if you give it a balanced diet then it's just some extra fibers
And i'm sure 1 spider is fine, but as a breeder it frustrates me when those become a primary food source among those less knowledgeable.
ITSSOFLUFFYYY
Oh no! I've been feeding my beardie meal worms non stop for the last month along side with some fresh veggies. She's only 3 months old.
Pulseless
My BD used to love them but I only ever gave him molted ones. I raised silkworms as his staple but he seemed to like the mealworms more lol
Silkworms are okay, but very high in fat, should only be used as a treat =)
Ah I never knew that, I picked silkworms since I read on a BD forum that they were a good base for their diet and were easy to raise.
TobiOfTheAkatsuki
Yep. My Beardie got quite fat from overfeeding with meal/hornworms/roaches. He is no longer super-pancake. Now, just normal pancake.
Don't believe anything I say, verify it!, I'm willing to accept I could be wrong based on new studies, however that is what I was taught.
Opalin
The venom of the spider, no. The high concentration of parasites and pesticides that are built up, yes
Sifernos
I'd think that the dirt spider is dangerous to that Dragon only because it is dirty and likely everything you said.
Really? I wouldn't think spiders were usually concentrated with parasites.
webcamtarantula
I mean spiders are very unlikely to contain parasites but they could have some pesticides from eating other insects.
foximillian
They don't eat as much as you might think. Additionally, they don't eat insects that are already dead usually, and they don't often (1/2)
Pick up any pesticides on their own due to their feet not even sticking to the pesticides we use around our houses. (2/2)
You're probably correct, but I'm sticking to what my vet has told me, I have no interest in my dragon getting sick. I imagine it's (1/2)
As an Arachnologist I am fully aware of how much spiders eat and that is next to nothing.
WowSoSparkly
I once kept a house spider in a bottle, gave it a tiny bug, it pounced on it, wrapped it up, then ignored everything for a looong time.
RandyReady
What do scorpions eat and what eats scorpions? I always find a few in my house in the winter and I'm worried about being stung
NGAAHH
Venom from spiders and stuff requires access to the blood stream, which the digestive system is not connected to.
wildfathom9
Have crohns disease and holes in intestines. Mhmm. Your move ngaahh
chrisharddick
Interesting
This goes for humans too to some degree, you can swallow deadly snake venom and only get a minor stomach ache. (unless you have open sores)
The digestive system is linked to the blood stream, but stuff is just broken down before it can actually get into the blood stream.
ghostcalib3r
Unless you have an ulcer, or hemorrhoids.
NotIrony
This is just wrong. Don't know where the hell you get any of your information or how hard you try to make shit up that sounds sort of right.
ihatewarmpickles
So how do we get high off pills, edibles, etc if it doesn't connect to your blood stream? Sorry if this is a weird question....
I think poisons and edible drugs get absorbed by the body for whatever reason, don't know why.
pronoun
Please stop trying to answer questions.
valkyrie117
Not wierd, the digestive system has an ability to break down a lot of materials but some are able to stop get through the lining of the (1)
Stomach, or if they survive past the stomach into the intestine they will likely be absorbed into the blood at that point. Hence why (2)
Pills can make it into your blood stream but why some compound can't. Ever notice when you eat whole corn that it comes out the same? (3)

I have 2. Theyre amazing pets and have their own personalities. The battle of the poop is the real struggle. I think they love to play in it
I hope they have separate tanks.
Of course. They will fight and procreate if in the same enclosure. They're very territorial.
Thank goodness. Sorry to get all sanctimonious. It's fairly common for people to house two beardies together thinking they're "lonely".
Bystandr
Bearded dragons eat and poop often, unfortunately. They reek if you dont keep them clean , but otherwise they are fairly personable lizards.
GrizzlyWicks
well stop shitting in there tank and use your own toilet
eww lol
We can usually get it picked up on lunch breaks before they run through it but sometimes the schedule is off and it cant be helped.
Ahh yes. The shit. Had a large savannah monitor and the shit was something else. 6ft boa also horrible shits.
seraku
I struggle to even get mine to poop. He'll sometimes go 2 weeks without pooping and my vet says he's perfectly healthy. He's about 2 yrs old
What kind of uvb bulb are you using?
acadianViking
I bathe mine 2/day. He freaks out for a sec when the water turns on, then just freezes and does that but wiggle thing and then just floods
uhhMurdok
Iguanas do the same thing.
It washes all away since he is in the bath with running water so no worry of infections
HugoArtemisRune
Same here, goes nuts when put into the water then aaahhhh yisssssssssss
My male will tolerate the baths. The female does not. He also likes to go out in the sun. She turns into satans spawn outside of her cage.
Mine liked to poop in his water bowel....
Assfullofbread
I've had water dragons and an iguana. They all shit in their water bowls lol
So it's a lizard thing? always thought mine was just trying to spite me lol
Thats what a water bowel is for! ;) you meant bowl I know, I just laughed about it.

ScaryScarab
Don't believe anything I say, verify it!, I'm willing to accept I could be wrong based on new studies, however that is what I was taught.
Opalin
The venom of the spider, no. The high concentration of parasites and pesticides that are built up, yes
Sifernos
I'd think that the dirt spider is dangerous to that Dragon only because it is dirty and likely everything you said.
DarthFutuza
Really? I wouldn't think spiders were usually concentrated with parasites.
webcamtarantula
I mean spiders are very unlikely to contain parasites but they could have some pesticides from eating other insects.
foximillian
They don't eat as much as you might think. Additionally, they don't eat insects that are already dead usually, and they don't often (1/2)
foximillian
Pick up any pesticides on their own due to their feet not even sticking to the pesticides we use around our houses. (2/2)
Opalin
You're probably correct, but I'm sticking to what my vet has told me, I have no interest in my dragon getting sick. I imagine it's (1/2)
webcamtarantula
As an Arachnologist I am fully aware of how much spiders eat and that is next to nothing.
WowSoSparkly
I once kept a house spider in a bottle, gave it a tiny bug, it pounced on it, wrapped it up, then ignored everything for a looong time.
RandyReady
What do scorpions eat and what eats scorpions? I always find a few in my house in the winter and I'm worried about being stung
NGAAHH
Venom from spiders and stuff requires access to the blood stream, which the digestive system is not connected to.
wildfathom9
Have crohns disease and holes in intestines. Mhmm. Your move ngaahh
chrisharddick
Interesting
ScaryScarab
This goes for humans too to some degree, you can swallow deadly snake venom and only get a minor stomach ache. (unless you have open sores)
chrisharddick
Interesting
Fireanole
The digestive system is linked to the blood stream, but stuff is just broken down before it can actually get into the blood stream.
ghostcalib3r
Unless you have an ulcer, or hemorrhoids.
NotIrony
This is just wrong. Don't know where the hell you get any of your information or how hard you try to make shit up that sounds sort of right.
ihatewarmpickles
So how do we get high off pills, edibles, etc if it doesn't connect to your blood stream? Sorry if this is a weird question....
NGAAHH
I think poisons and edible drugs get absorbed by the body for whatever reason, don't know why.
pronoun
Please stop trying to answer questions.
valkyrie117
Not wierd, the digestive system has an ability to break down a lot of materials but some are able to stop get through the lining of the (1)
valkyrie117
Stomach, or if they survive past the stomach into the intestine they will likely be absorbed into the blood at that point. Hence why (2)
valkyrie117
Pills can make it into your blood stream but why some compound can't. Ever notice when you eat whole corn that it comes out the same? (3)
DPunicorn
I know what I am getting for my next pet
duckshooter
A hooman?
shonamanik0905
My Dog does this. Is that normal?
Saucethatisawesome
My dog has plain old regular dog has done this.
Karnazar1
I need one. My own personal spider obliterator!!
CrazyLizardLady86
Well if you want an orange female, I've got one. She's eaten a wild bug or 2, but they really shouldn't eat wild ones...oh & crickets stink
HPVkilledmygirlfriend00ps
DELICIOUS!!
Lanabur
Asked my boyfriend first a lizard but I guess we "settled" for a cat.
PogoSticksAreUnderated
Me to. I freaking hate spider...
mustbeapony
Spider?
Dapro1
A magical safety dragon?
BklynPunisher
Beware when they shit though the larger they get, the more fun when it's time to clean up.
HeyLookImOnTV
If my home was prone to have this kind of nopenopenope, what I would be looking for is a new place to live.
MaskMan191
ONLY GET ONE. If you get two, one will establish dominance and try to starve and attack the other. My friend's lizard killed his other one.
BlacksMcNutt
They shit likeva german shepherd, just a warning.
volamake
They make really good pets. The only thing to look out for is that there are no iguanas in the house as they can easily attack them
Vandalmaster
Honestly, some spiders make great pets, they just don't do much except for sure away potential friends...
TacoPrime
They smell bad
razorsbk
They don't if you shower.
kuemmel
They don't. They don't smell at all if taken care of.
TheScarletBitch
You can teach dogs to get spiders. All of my dogs "get their friends", which is code for come eat this bug, I'm scared.
Squeezit
A chicken? Because they're actually the best home defense against critters.

Squeezit
Wait, even the ones up high? How do they reach those?
[deleted]

Squeezit
Yeah I don't think it'd live very long if it escaped my yard, given that I live at the base of south mountain in Phoenix
kuemmel
A lot of cats do that too! :)
Snickaaman
A bunny?
AlphaQueueBeta
ElCabaro
I was hoping to find this here
Lambpasty
I had an iguana named Ziggy for about 4 years when I was a teenager. I had a little harness for him and used to take him on walks.
flamingflamingo
Bearded dragons would be like cats if iguanas were dogs.
ScoobaStevie
Is it a spider?
Cazerio
no, it's an eight legged nope
woobwoobwoob
nope
MACARLOS
Come on! Spider is still a legit name!
ChampionCynthia
Spiders make good pets too.. As long as you're more keen on observing your pet than interacting with it. I rarely hold mine for obv. reasons
AqualadTheRealMVP
Cuz u a pusspuss ?
NoTouchie
I've held the same tarantula twice! She got a little freaked the first time though... They're pretty chill :)
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Our cat does this
blonx
Yep. Crunch crunch crunch on bugs.
ChampionCynthia
Mine doesn't. He's a apathic, lazy fuck. Still love him.
shakexandxbake
I have 2. Theyre amazing pets and have their own personalities. The battle of the poop is the real struggle. I think they love to play in it
flamingflamingo
I hope they have separate tanks.
shakexandxbake
Of course. They will fight and procreate if in the same enclosure. They're very territorial.
flamingflamingo
Thank goodness. Sorry to get all sanctimonious. It's fairly common for people to house two beardies together thinking they're "lonely".
Bystandr
Bearded dragons eat and poop often, unfortunately. They reek if you dont keep them clean , but otherwise they are fairly personable lizards.
GrizzlyWicks
well stop shitting in there tank and use your own toilet
DPunicorn
eww lol
shakexandxbake
We can usually get it picked up on lunch breaks before they run through it but sometimes the schedule is off and it cant be helped.
BklynPunisher
Ahh yes. The shit. Had a large savannah monitor and the shit was something else. 6ft boa also horrible shits.
seraku
I struggle to even get mine to poop. He'll sometimes go 2 weeks without pooping and my vet says he's perfectly healthy. He's about 2 yrs old
shakexandxbake
What kind of uvb bulb are you using?
acadianViking
I bathe mine 2/day. He freaks out for a sec when the water turns on, then just freezes and does that but wiggle thing and then just floods
uhhMurdok
Iguanas do the same thing.
acadianViking
It washes all away since he is in the bath with running water so no worry of infections
HugoArtemisRune
Same here, goes nuts when put into the water then aaahhhh yisssssssssss
shakexandxbake
My male will tolerate the baths. The female does not. He also likes to go out in the sun. She turns into satans spawn outside of her cage.
ScaryScarab
Mine liked to poop in his water bowel....
Assfullofbread
I've had water dragons and an iguana. They all shit in their water bowls lol
ScaryScarab
So it's a lizard thing? always thought mine was just trying to spite me lol
shakexandxbake
Thats what a water bowel is for! ;) you meant bowl I know, I just laughed about it.
ScaryScarab
my fingers must have hit W and E! lol
chilimagik
Shouldn't feed them wild insects though due to parasites and so on.
Rymdblomma
That wasn't some wild insect, that was Frank! And Frank was quite clearly a spider.
Trikarrotops
You mean Geoff?
tornadosandwich
That's an arachnid
WellintheNavy
Have you seen that video with the snake like worm thing crawling out of a spider?
Darkmage4
Ewww
chilimagik
Yeah I believe I have. Rank haha
Squeezit
No but I saw it with the Praying Mantis
ChrisLucas1
Horse hair worms no?
Darkmage4
Yes and ewwww
YouMightGetIdeas
Spiders just got scarier
Fireanole
It's not the spider's fault... These things eat spiders from the inside out...
