I’m in Melbourne and there’s this dirty great spider hanging around in my toilet (presumably it’s some kind of cottaging spider??), how do I know if it’s safe to go in and do a poo?

Things are getting slightly desperate, it’s already been out for a look around a couple of times (the poo, not the spider).

Update – can’t find much on the net. I think it might be a Huntsman spider (local pain and swelling), side effects of being bitten don’t sound as bad as not going to the toilet, I’M GOING IN!!!

Update 2 – it’s moved under the sink

Update 3 – I’VE BEEN, IT’S ALL OK, IT’S ALL OVER, MOVE ALONG PLEASE

Update 4 – actually I think it might be a wolf spider, not a huntsman spider
