gecko ate a spider.

Well, my father called me while i was in class at school today to tell me this. (laughing so hard he was crying). While he was misting my geckos tanks down, a spider managed to get into my AFTs tank. She is fine, spider...not so much. Apparently she cornered it, it covered, she ate it. I am wondering if i should be worried about this. Between having an anxiety disorder and being an overprotective gecko parent, I already am. The spider was the daddy longlegs that has been allowed to stay in my room the past couple month. He just staying in one corner and eats the moths and mosquitoes, he earned a place. I am just thankful we don't have any poisonous spider here. Anyways, should i be worried about this?

I doubt it, unless the spider is really venomous. I encourage spiders in the herp room to take care of escaped crickets and phorids that like MRP, and I think my geckos eat them fairly often. I'd just watch your gecko for behavioral changes for a day or two, but I wouldn't worry without obvious symptoms.

Will be no problem at all, nothing to worry about, chances of anything harmful being contracted are extremely low.
