All Spiders are venomous, since they cannot constrict their prey, they have to have venom to allow them to paralyse and digest their food. The only reason people do not think some spiders such as house spiders are not venomous is because people do not get bit by them, simply because their fangs are not big enough to penetrate human skin. So yes, jumping spiders are venomous.

∙ 12y agoSpiders are not poisonous. Being poisonous means it is bad to eat. All spiders are venomous, but most do not have enough to do more than affect you like a bee unless you are allergic. Jumping spiders are the most amazing spiders. I have found that many of them are friendly and will jump on your hand out of curiousity. They can live up to two years and can be good pets for someone who wants a spider that is not likely to bite but is not huge like a tarantula. They do not make webs, they catch their prey like cats, stalking then pouncing. They so use a drop thread that helps them if they fall. They come in many colors and are often very beautiful. If you see one, let it live. They are good at catching pesty bugs like flies.

∙ 12y agoNope :D, infact they have venom but only use it for eating flys and other bugs. But they will watch you as you move around so they are creepy.

Is a Tiny Metallic Vietnamese Jumping spider poisonous?
Eating a spider will not poison you. Almost all spiders have venom. Most venoms are not very toxic to human beings. A jumping spider can have a fairly large quantity of venom that is fairly toxic to humans. However, that just means that if a big jumping spider bites you it will make you hurt enough to make you wish you had been more careful. It is pretty hard to get a jumping spider to bite you A tiny jumping spider will be unlikely to bite you, and if it bites you then the amount of venom it delivers will not be enough to make you feel much if any pain. On top of that, a truly tiny jumping spider's fangs are so small that they might not get through the layer of dead cells on your epidermis. Never say never because you never know what will turn up next. Probably nobody has ever been bitten by this tiny metallic jumping spider. But unless this spider is very much unlike all the jumping spiders of various species that people have been bitten by, it is a good bet that its bite would not be a medical problem for any human.
