I read in one of my Chameleon books that they will "readliy consume" spiders, and now I have managed to catch a really big funnel web spider in my front yard. He's about the size of a large cricket (which my male eats by the dozen) but I'm concerned about what might happen if Orion does not eat the arachnid right away. Has anyone fed their Cham's spiders before? Just needing some advice, since I'm extremely arachnophobic, and will be unable to retrieve it after I let it go in his cage if he doesn't eat it right away. HELP!!
