Hi Marc,

Common Badge, Garden, House or Brown Huntsman. Bitey but no venom to worry about.
I have them in the house sometimes.

I've been bitten a few times. They have enormous strength to drive those curved pointy things in.

Everytime I've been bitten its been because I pick them up or::: once as I was teasing it. Just two tiny pin-pricks on the end of my finger.
Only reason I pick them up is to throw them out of the house.
Have not had any for a few years. Probably the Geckos have sorted them out lately.
