Spiders... anyone know much about em?
well, last night while i was taking out my contact lenses to go to bed, i saw out the corner of my eye summut move, turned around and there was spider like i aint seen before...
it had a red body and a big cream coloured abdomen (or whatever the fook it is) and was about 1.5" big. i took a pic on my phone but cant get it onto the pc.
just wondering if its poisonous or not??

You would have liked the three I saw at the weekend in the country here.
2 harmless huntsmen spiders but over 4" from end of leg to end of lef. Not a nice site with a body about the size of a 2p. Then a white tail, my first sighting. All my google research had paid off and I was able to identify the black body with small white diamond on the tail. They give a poisonus bite and was about the size of 1p.
Maybe your one was a pet once as not much survives like that in the UK due to the climate and diet.

I know the one you are on about though. Think it was some David Attenborough show I saw once. Bit of a nasty sight. Huntsmen look shocking but are harmless. G/f's parents have a place in the country and they are everywhere along with several poisnous snakes so I am constantly on the look out things!Trouble is, its the ones you dont see that do the harm!

Oh thanks, looked at the spider pic - won't be sleeping tonight
They make my chest go tight and i can't breathe
We have ones like this http://www.nicksspiders.com/nicksspiders/tegenaria2.jpg in our house in summer - Sometimes the only just fit in a pint glass
I hate them, but never kill them

All spiders are venomous. The level of toxicity of the venom and whether they are able to puncture human skin is the issue. My dad was bitten in the garden at my grans house a few years back and it put him in hospital.
