So I was sitting here chatting on the forum with Saleen when a spider darted from the back of a painting in front of my computer and I thought it was huge so I caught it. Hoping Pluto, Peloquin or anyone really could tell me what it is. I live in South Florida if it helps narrow it down. Its leg span is about 4inches.

My screen isnt the best but it LOOKS like a huntsman spider, probably Heterapoda venatoria.

Aa I say though, my screen isnt brilliant so be carefull, dont you get Brown recluse there as well?

I did some research and I would agree with your judgments. Glad to hear he is not much of a threat. What do you think I should do with the fella? He's still in the Kritter Keeper I put him.

Oh so that's the bastard you were talking about B.
Def a nice find you should keep him and name him Bizarre on account of him having only 7 legs.
