Not the best vid but its shows it size and energeticness.
Basically its got 3.5mm 'fangs' attached to a 5mm head part, attached to its around 9mm body, and when spread out it was as wide as the glass's opening.
Its dark brown with light brown spots, not sure like.
It moves fast, and can jump.
Cacked myself, we'll let him go if we know he's not dangerous, we just got back from Kenya see. |

Tegenaria sp or house spider. Its a male, they arnt fangs on its head but palps used in reproduction. Perfectly harmless release it in the garden or garage.
