I clean his tank everyday when I force feed because he is on paper towels and it can make a mess if he is not cooperating. Today I noticed a small black spider in his tank under the paper towels. It wasn't there yesterday. I saved the spider to show to my vet but I am worried that if the spider bit him it can harm him. I know common spider bites can hurt some reptiles but do they harm amphibians?

I have no idea how it got there. It is very tiny. The lid on his tank has some tiny slits for ventilation. It may have climbed through that way. It was stuck beneath the paper towels, and I check on him periodically even through the night. I don't think it bothered him but I saved it just in case. He has not been behaving differently. I will keep checking on him routinely. There hasn't even been any live food in the tank in two weeks so I have no idea how it got there or why it went in his tank. I'm so worried. I'm going to put spider glue traps around his tank immediately.

Spiders find their way into anywhere. No matter how well you think something is sealed especially your house they will find a way. I'm sure it didn't bite him. Probably climbed in there for warmth and since most spiders have book lungs they need moisture so their lungs work properly. The spider was probably after warmth and a drink from the paper towels.

That makes me feel a little better. I don't want anything to happen because he is finally showing slight improvements.
