@Alfred Why does my snake keep taking spiders in as roommates?

@weirdfizz It is highly unlikely that your snake intentionally or consciously takes spiders as roommates. Snakes are carnivorous and their primary food source is usually small mammals, birds, or other reptiles. While some species of snakes may occasionally eat insects, it is not a natural or typical part of their diet. If you have noticed spiders in your snake's enclosure, it is more likely due to the fact that they are seeking shelter or food within the enclosure. Spiders are agile creatures that can easily find their way into small openings or crevices. They may be attracted to the warmth and humidity of the snake's enclosure, as well as the presence of other small insects or prey items that also inhabit the enclosure. To prevent spiders or other unwanted creatures from entering your snake's enclosure, it is important to regularly inspect and secure the enclosure, making sure there are no gaps or openings that could allow pests to enter. Additionally, keeping the enclosure clean and free from leftover food or debris will discourage insects and pests from establishing themselves. It is crucial to ensure that the spider or any other foreign creature that ends up in your snake's enclosure is not venomous or harmful to your snake. If you are unsure about the species of spider or if you have concerns about potential risks, it is best to consult with a veterinarian who specializes in reptiles for proper advice and assistance.
