ALL Spiders are venomous ! However - most spider venom is not powerful enough to cause harm to humans. Remember - the venom usually only needs to be strong enough to immobilise insects (their natural prey). There are some spider species (such as the black widow) - that possess venom strong enough to cause human fatalities.

How venomuus are tarantulas?

Tarantulas are not very venomous at all. There's a general rule of thumb with spider size and strength of their venom: The larger the spider, the less potent of venom. Sure there are exceptions, but it is a very useful rule of thumb. Think about it. A spider the size of your hand doesn't need much venom; its size and strength allows it to hold prey without the need for paralyzing toxins.

Are tarantula deadly?

Not to humans, though they are to small rodents. While all tarantulas are venemous but most posess a venom that would simply result in a small amount of discomfort, slight reddness and swelling - very similar to a bee sting. There are some tarantulas that can cause a much stronger reaction with their venom - including intense pain, muscle cramping from head to toe, rapid or irregular heartbeat, very high fever, among other reactions. But there has never been any reports of a human being killed by a tarantulas venom.

Tarantula's (as with all spiders,snakes,etc)do not have poison, they have venom. They are "generally" not dangerous to humans. A person could be allergic to the venom, which would be a problem, yet most tarantula bites are comparable to a bee sting.


Do tarantulas bite for real?

Yes. They bite whenever they catch something to eat. They bite if they feel they need to protect themselves. Occasionally a tarantula will make a prey mistake and think that a human pinky is a pinky mouse. Occasionally a tarantula will be startled by an incautious human plunging his/her hand into the tarantula's cage, and the tarantula will give a defensive bite. There are some tarantula species that are quite likely to bite human beings, and there are some tarantula species that are extremely unlikely to bite or even to dust you with their "natural itching powder" that grows as spines on their abdomens.


What does it Mean when you get bitten numerous times by a tarantula?

Some species of tarantulas have venom deadly to humans. If you have been bitten, visit a doctor or got to the Emergency Room as fast as possible.
