Comments & ID Thoughts
Found the spider on the bedroom wall, we’re surrounded by a small forest and
I don’t know any specific details about it
We usually see black spiders smaller in size
Would love to know the name of it and if it’s poisonous since I have small kids in the house

Sparassidae it looks like, possibly Heteropoda sp.. They are very timid and prefer to avoid human contact as much as possible. They also tend to hunt other spiders, hence the name “Huntsman Spiders.”
If bitten you should see a doctor, but their venom isn’t considered generally dangerous to humans.
