In my younger sillier days I used to tease Huntsmans.
I copped fangs into my fingers a few times. Never had any reaction to the bites.
The fangs are long enough to penetrate the skin and leave punctures.
However I am still alive.

What it proves is that most spiders, or all the spiders I have dealt with will not attack or bite unless cornered or teased. They are timid and shy. They sometimes make mistakes in choosing which way to escape. Culminating in running under the bed or into cupboards.

I like to have them around as a natural and safe insecticide.

Another use; For bachelors who want to get rid of last night's date; "My pet spider's gotten loose" Heh heh (evil laugh)

Peacock Spiders, Money Spiders and other colourful spiders are always interesting to see. Thanks Robert
