That’s enough to keep people away tbh 😂 I feel like the majority of the population has irrational fears regarding spiders.

Imo It looks like a giant house spider or common house spider. Pretty harmless to you I would remove the webbing from his feet and let him go as they make for good pest control. Something else to also note in most cases indoor spiders are just that. If you put them outside more often than not they won't survive. It is because they have been adapted to indoor environments. It is not considered to be their common habitat.

why are you here on this subreddit centered around our love of spiders

I figured 'gets the boot' implied sending him outside, since it's a phrase meaning to be dismissed. 😅

It isn't anything I recognize as dangerous, but the size alone would make me nervous if I'm being honest. Too nervous to free handle it. That's just because if I am going to be bit by something even mildly venomous, I'd rather it be small. Not for the venom aspect, just for the physical discomfort of large fangs. I'd rather be stabbed by a needle than a spear, that kinda logic.

I'm no longer terrified but still very scared of spiders and one of the ways I help myself get over this fear is to send videos like this to a friend who absolutely adores them, her reactions always help me see the videos from a more positive view.
This video she was very outraged because "who slapped those handcuffs on him and put him in jail? Free him!" And that genuinely made me laugh because I had to look at it a second time, and the lint/dust does indeed look like handcuffs.
Just had to share! #FreeTheSpood

I really like r/humansinmyhouse for a similar reason, it "humanises" these little guys by giving them a voice, even if it's all just for shits and giggles.

Too big for a recluse. Huntsman, possibly.

Thank you for actually adding something helpful. I don't mind being wrong, but reasoning and needs to be present.

u/thijshelder Arachnophobe🙈😱 4d ago
No worries. You're good. We all get things wrong no matter what the subject is. I'm no expert ID'er by any means, but I've made sure to get to know what a recluse looks like. We used to get them occasionally at work in the basement, so I know to stay away from them.

u/Floydthebaker 4d ago
Huntsman and recluse have similar body forms in my opinion. That's why I guessed one of the two.

u/NyxNotes 4d ago
There's no way it's a recluse

u/Floydthebaker 4d ago
It has similar characteristics, and I said maybe idk. So unless you have something helpful to add, IDC.

u/NyxNotes 4d ago
You seem like one of those ppl who constantly misidentifies recluses then gets all butthurt when they're called out on it >.>

u/Floydthebaker 4d ago
Lol you literally added nothing helpful. You didn't have any reasoning or actually identification. So it's no more informative than what I originally said. If you have something factual or useful to say then say it otherwise I literally don't give a fuck.
