CLOSED: CLOSED: Please help to identify this spider

Kuala Belait, Brunei Darussalam

We were out of our house in Brunei for a couple of weeks. Found out bathroom full of little spiders and one big spider jumped out of the tub. I am wondering if it is poisonous?

This looks like a male huntsman spider (family Sparassidae). Like the vast majority of spiders, they have venom glands and thus at least technically are considered venomous (see the 'sticky' on spider bites at the top of this forum). However, they pose no danger to humans. Also, I do not know of any spiders that are truly poisonous (i.e. - would make you very sick if you ate one)...
