Huntsman Spider

Description

Heteropoda venatoria is a Florida spider-giant among US species reaching up to 4+ inches in legspan. Available specimens have “around” a 2 to 3 or so inch legspan. Very fast, aggressive towards their prey. Not known to have venom of serious medical significance to people. They are capable of teleporting. Do not underestimate their speed when you open the container. You might pop the internal plastic shipping container in the fridge for a few moments to slow them down. They will get away from you a second time after they get away the first, too! 😉
