Yeah, these ones look dangerous for some reason (because of the color?), even though the other article said they are mostly harmless:

In fact, Joros are relatively harmless to people and pets. Joros won’t bite unless cornered. And even if you did manage to somehow annoy a Joro into biting you, its fangs likely wouldn’t be large enough to pierce your skin.

I like spiders but suddenly being surrounded by hundreds of big spiders would freak me the fuck out.

Yeah, that's reddit OP's spiders. This subthread is funny:

Well I just placed an order for some small deli cups to separate them lol. So later this week ill have 300-400 cups to place individual fruit flies into to feed the spiderlings

Most will be wholesaled to larger arachnid dealers but the ones i keep will be raised and fed fruit flies and pinhead crickets til they sell retail

My wife will kill the living shit out of that spider no matter what scientists say about it.

Number 16 (c. 1973 – 2016) ... was a wild female trapdoor spider ... that lived in North Bungulla Reserve near Tammin, Western Australia. She died in 2016, at an estimated age of 43 years, and is the longest-lived spider recorded to date. by neolib in spiders
