This is a male huntsman/giant crab spider, Heteropoda venatoria. Like the vast majority of spiders, it has venom glands and thus technically is considered venomous (see the 'sticky' on spider bites at the top of this forum). However, this species poses no danger to humans - see http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/spiders/giant_crab_spider.htm for details.
