    Default Spider Hitchhiker, danger to frogs?

    Hey boys and girls,
    This tiny spider is in my RETF tank, can frogs become sick from eating venomous spiders? Should I take him out. That cricket he's wrangled is a small(for scale). Also, if someone can identify it, that be cool. I didn't have any luck.

    Thanks!

    How big are your Red Eyes? Males or females? My Red Eyes tend to ignore too small or not very mobile insects, even small crickets will be ignored sometimes.

    I'd take it out, just to be safe. Perhaps, if it is not native to your area, keep it in a critter keeper. If it is native to your area, release it.
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor

    I wouldn't take a chance and letting that spider get out in the event that he's not native to NY. Kill it and worry no more.
