I found it on the road it looked dead. It does not move much but if i jiggle the box around it will run like a MF other than that it stays harmless. What does it eat? How venomnous is it in a scale from 1-10

That looks a lot like a tarantula. Their bites are usually around as bad as a bee sting, and they can eat crickets or cockroaches. What a nice find, I hope they do well.
I tought it was a tarantula, but never seen one so brolic, you can hear its legs stump the its ground when moving, is it normal it stay put with no minimal movement? Thanks for the quick answer hope you have a great weekend
Yes, many tarantulas aren’t very active as they are lay and wait predators. My own tarantula comes out of her hide a few times a week, usually only when she’s hungry. And female tarantulas are usually much more stocky and heavy bodied than the males, so you might have a female too! Congrats 🙂
It was really fun to have it but i think im going to let her go back to the wilderness, i appreciate your insight. If you ever travel to honduras you will see beatiful animals like this, always be pationate about what you cherish the most and it will all piece together, stay safe
