What sort of spider is this?

Just rescued him out of the toilet where he looked dead, regretting it now as I've never seen anything like it before and that torso looks set to burst with eggs ffs

Click for big

Can't find anything similar on the UK spider listing sites

Ah, the "Zunetoobieded" species. Quite common.

WINNER.

Yep that's the one, colours are a bit off in the wiki pic, but spot on for the one listed here:

Cheers! Don't know if it'll live, it is still alive, i.e. it'll respond when touched, but hasn't moved off yet.

its a "creeping death spider" very rare spider only found in certain parts of ocuk. once eyes have been laid upon its picture the user may only have at best another 70 years before death creeps up on them , hence the name "creeping death spider".

the only way to lift its creeping death curse is to nuke it from orbit or burn it to crispy corpse and scatter its ashes onto your computers intake fans, rumours suggest burning a printed image of the spider may suffice.

They have been known to bite humans if handled. Their bite can be painful but the venom causes no major medical problems. Localised itchiness at the bite site has been reported in some cases.

or ones that sit and stare at you disapprovingly.
