I found a small spider in my kisser tank, it looks like it might be in the process of molting in a corner. Leave it for now?

Hisser* my fault for not checking...

I'm not sure what kind of spider this is and I don't know if it would be a threat to my 3 adult hissers, I have no babies in my tank. I am also not sure if the spider is in the process of molting right now or not, but I don't want to destroy it's webbed hide and potentially hurt it.

I have a strip of Vaseline rubbed around the upper interior edge of my tank to prevent my roaches from climbing up to the ventilation holes, but I realized I made a mistake by not also putting a strip of Vaseline on the *outer* upper edge of the tank... Stuff can climb up and get in, but not out. I saw an ant that had gotten stuck in the tank recently but didn't think to check for spiders.

Should I just leave the spider alone for now and maybe see if I could make a little stick ramp up to one of the ventilation holes by the top of my tank? I don't think it would want to be in there if there's no food, and I have never seen fruit flies or any other small bugs in there other than the single ant.

Thoughts?

Small brown beetle-like insect I found and have never seen before. Help with ID? - Massachusetts

I found this small bug climbing across one of my terrariums, I've never seen something like this. Does anyone have an idea as to what it is? I offered it a little shred of carrot and it seems to be drinking the juice from it.

Thank you!

Is it just me deluding myself or do I have complete heterochromia? I have always thought my left eye looked more brown, and the right more hazel with green tones mixed in. (Photos are flipped) I have always just said they're hazel, but I'm curious to see what you all think. I had better pictures somewhere but couldn't find them... sorry!

Thank you. 💜
