Anyone know what kind of spider this is?

[ldiablo]

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.

Not a good picture, but it looks like a Huntsman spider to me. Nothing to worry about.

Is it crawling on your butt?

What is your house nut?

I believe this thread will deteriorate.

[stoneyboy]

It's the shitgin farang species brought over by the Portuguese.

[HeijoshinCool]

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?

That's my guess also.

[peterb17]

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!

[Tywais]

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.

Ive got one living in the car somewhere, sometimes when you open the door its in the hinge recess area I called it Beryl..

[mickjn]

Its a Huntsman,dont kill it,it will do no harm

[Crossy]

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.

[jacko45k]

Mate, I am more worried that you are going head down to investigate after each bowel movement!

[laurenrebecca]

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).

[shaurene]

It is a Huntsman, very long legs no problems with thm, read up on them in Thailand you will get the pictures on Google. Had one on our wall out in the back, it ran away very fast.

OMG this is the WONKA WILLY BUST A NUT Spider Very Dangerous and a vicious little guy

Waits in ambush for only farang men. When it senses your about to put a leather wallet full of cash in your pants it then bits your hand and makes off with the cash

Something similar to the way Thai woman do it

[dotpoom]

Looks like a "Daddy Long Legs".

[Aussieroaming]

It's a turd burglar , don't worry about it

[meatboy]

the poor guy was enjoying his daily swim,when it suddenly went DARK,

CLAPS OF THUNDER,

THEN IT TIPPED DOWN WITH RAIN,

IF SOMEONE HAD NOT CHUCKED IN A LOG,

HE WOULD HAVE DROWNED.

[zackattack]

Yes I come from Florida Wesley chapel and they are all over but will help with pesky insects, they will not harm you

[cumgranosalum]

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

[anthobkk]

What about this one ? I found it on Koh Kood island last year ? It didn't seem really happy !

[cumgranosalum]

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.

Not a good picture, but it looks like a Huntsman spider to me. Nothing to worry about.

Sophon

Yes, I agree with you.

This is a harmless Heteropoda spider, the largest spider in the world.

Oh dear ,thats so funny hahahah of course if u were real smart you would have bred it with a takab or millipede.............pls try harder next time

[ldiablo]

@Tywais. Yes looked exactly like that.

"It didn't seem really happy !"

Oh, I don't know. 'Looks like a rather enthusiastic pose to me. If that one gets any bigger, it'll be taking selfies!

[ldiablo]

@jacko45k. You would be surprised what you could learn about your own health by having a quick look at a good s@@t.
