All Spiders and Tarantulas are venomous. :P

I'm going to take a leap here and guess that he means 'dangerously venomous' spiders.

yeah cmon yall know what i meant! lol i am aware all are venomous, but ones that you would say, hey i own a venomous spider wanna see? lol

I don't yet, but I have a friend who works in pest control and he is under strict orders to bring me a black widow or two when he finds them. :)

i have blacks and browns!! i see egg sacks from both all the time. i don't keep them though.

My pool cage has brown widow nests all over the place... at least it did till I took the pressure washer to them. Snakes I'm great with. Spiders... no, not really.

i like looking at spiders, but her is my dumb peev, i can stand big spiders, but little one that can run away and hide, give me the eillllies , also comperd to a hot snake, how are the widow bites, are the surviable W/O hosptial visit, my neighbor "swears" he got hit by a black widow and it got hard to breathe for a while, idk about him though

I've been bitten by a black widow, twice. The first bite resulted in a 3 day hospital stay because I am allergic to the venom. Lots of breathing trouble, pain, swelling, and oozing from the bite area. The second bite we knew to treat differently from the start because of my allergy and it was not so bad, overnight stay for monitoring and only mild breathing trouble, pain, swelling, and oozing.

So I am really deathly afraid of spiders and I feel like I've earned the right to be. :P

I've got a friend that keeps spiders, but I won't go near his house.

Yea, Im staying away from them, my gf's yard and wood pile is
riddled with them

No, but in 5th grade my teacher and my mom caught a black widow and we kept it in a jar in the classroom and named it Sushi. Does that count? Hahaha...
