Hey, i know this is a UK forum but its the only king snake place i can find and you are the pros. Well my son noticed a big wolf spider on the outside of the VIV, he came and got me right away as he was worried for our lil guy. I didnt get to find the wolf spider but i believe him. Just moved into the house and they are all over! Im not sure if you have wolf spiders in UK or not but im sure you deal with other spiders. Is there anything i should be worried about? IF a spider did manage to get into the viv and bit my king do you think it would have a big effect on it? Should i be worried if my king ate the spider due to the exoskeleton? Sorry to sound worried i just wasnt sure.
I wouldnt think a wolf spider would be able to get into a viv that a king couldn't get out of. Then again i dont know how big wolf spiders are.... *checks wikipedia...* Ok they arent that big but i dont think it would be too much of a problem IF the snake ate it, which i doubt it would... The spider has probably just walked off somewhere else...

Thanks for the reply. I didnt think it could get in but they manage to find a way into the house lol. Id hate to lose it over a spider bite or trying to eat lol.
