All spiders(with few exceptions) are venomous. But poisonous to humans, no. This one doesn't pose much threat.
You're already dead
Whoops I forgot the whole poisonous / venomous difference. Can you tell me what type of spider it is?

But it doesn't have any tell-tale signs of being one of the baddies. Enoplognatha ovata, would be my best guess. Not fatal.
So it's ok to release it?
[QUOTE=Lurklet;45379320]So it's ok to release it?[/QUOTE] Yes. I'm not quite sure why you'd hold it captive. There are probably tens of millions of them around the UK.
It's a brown recluse.

[QUOTE=Camper99;45379345]It's a brown recluse.[/QUOTE] they are nasty fuckers, i had one in my bathroom an hour ago killed it with a shard of broken disk
Looks like a redback that's slipped out of a DARPA camouflage facility. You should burn the house down for good measure.
