I have no idea what it is ... I'm guessing a wolf spider of some sort. In my bathroom .. it's decent sized you can see compared to electrical outlet. Is it venomous?

Tropical Wolf Spider Ctenus captiosus.

Like most spiders they have venom but are not considered to be of medical significance to people, everyone’s immune system is different though and they are in the same family as some medically significant species (Phoneutria) so I’d still treat them with some respect. 🙂
