Beardie ate a Spider

Hello, I took my bearded dragon on a blanket on the roof to play. (It’s enclosed, we live in Brooklyn so there’s not many other places for him to be active) and he ate a spider.
I tried to pull it out of his mouth but it was already gone. I’m really scared it was infected of venomous. The vet said just to monitor him for now but does anyone have any suggestions?

Its best to have activated charcoal on hand for things like this - watch for black bearding that is a sign of distress -- any other abnormal behavior from him -- if he didnt black beard right away I would say your good

Even if it was venomous, it would have to had bit him to hurt him. Once it hits his stomach the acid will very likely take care of it. But like Karrieree said, if your worried you can give just a little activated charcoal. Be careful not to give to much though.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
