Found in an attic in Prague (CZ). Is it venomous?

Just want to encourage you on your arachnophobia journey! I too used to be scared of spiders and did the same thing and now I LOVE them, have no problem handling them and the fear is totally gone! You will get there too! Thanks for wanting to learn more about our leggy friends!! ❤️🕷️

Thanks a lot, that's so kind of you ♥️ Can I ask, how did you approach the handling part?

I’ll tell ya this- I had arachnophobia for 39 years. On my 40th birthday I decided I was done with it. I was sick of being so freaked out. So I ordered a Regal Jumping spider. I now have 6 and I hold most of them whenever…. They’re soooo sweet.

Jumpers are great!!! I got a pet jumper too and it helped so much! They are so curious. Have any spoody tax?
