Good point - depends what kind of spiders. I think Lizards are not so likely to be in contact with a hamster, like ants who can get in a cage. We can't protect them from everything, but we can do our best and if that's how things are in Malaysia then it's just a case of doing your best and thankfully hamsters live in fairly secure environments in cages. Although they will want out of cage time sometimes, so it would be a case of checking the area first - as we all have to do to some degree (like hoovering the floor in case there's some unsuitable bits of food dropped or something or other things on the floor a hamster could pouch).
