ldiablo Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I found this thing in my toilet bowl yesterday while I was doing my number 2. I have obviously cropped the photo so as to not show you the nasty. I am curious as to what kind of spider this is as it is the 4th one I have found in my house nut the first one in my toilet. Obviously it was hiding somewhere in the toilet when I sat down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not a good picture, but it looks like a Huntsman spider to me. Nothing to worry about. Sophon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Is it crawling on your butt? What is your house nut? I believe this thread will deteriorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeijoshinCool Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The question you should be asking is, while you were busy, did the spider lay its oh-so-tiny eggs somewhere dark, moist, and warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not a good picture, but it looks like a Huntsman spider to me. Nothing to worry about. That's my guess also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Be very careful that is a lesser spotted deadly house spider- one bite- off to the temple. It's just your normal spider- you see them around- bit scary- nothing to worry about. We live in the tropics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Did it look like this? Took this photo a few years ago and it is a huntsman spider. I spot one occasionally around and in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I agree ^^^, 99% it's a Huntsman. We have a huge one that lives behind the wardrobe he (she) often comes out when we're watching TV (probably likes Thai soaps). Totally harmless to us, eats bugs.

laurenrebecca Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It's absolutely a huntsman. Have 2 or 3 in my house. Very quick, eat all the bugs and don't bother me. While I would prefer not to have one residing in the toilet, they won't bother you at all, and keep the creepy crawlies away (eaten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaurene Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It is a Huntsman, very long legs no problems with thm, read up on them in Thailand you will get the pictures on Google.

cumgranosalum Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not a Daddy long legs..... It looks like a normal Thai "house" spider......they seem to be called "huntsmen" by most Farang...not sure what the Thai name is. Normally quite small bodied, their legs extend 5 cm 8cm or more. Huntsmen - don't spin webs, they chase prey......... All spiders have a venomous bite.... it's how they kill/paralyse their prey but they are seldom harmful to humans......some spider bites require hospital treatment and many other bites are incorrectly attributed to spiders too. (Dr No has a lot to answer for - in the book, I believe it was a centipede) As they eat undesirable insects their presence is quite possibly beneficial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthobkk Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What about this one ? I found it on Koh Kood island last year ? It didn't seem really happy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I'm not good on spiders....I actually hate getting up close....the one in your hand is rather spectacularly coloured and you can clearly see his fangs! - although it looks like the front legs are raised in anger, the fangs don't seem to be at the ready though.

Barin Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not a good picture, but it looks like a Huntsman spider to me. Nothing to worry about. Sophon Yes, I agree with you.
