"Not only there were literally thousands of spiderlings under the bed, right beside them rested one of the biggest 'non-tarantula' spiders I have ever seen. Its body length was 45mm but with its leg span it could easily cover my hand," Wizen said on his blog.
These kinds of spiders are also called armed spiders or banana spiders. They are very dangerous and their bite could take the life of humans, especially children, although antivenin makes death unlikely.
