Catching the world's deadliest spider is easier than you think... 🕷️ Every funnel web you catch for us, contributes to creating lifesaving anti-venom.

Our very own resident 🕷️Spider-Man🕷️ has broken his own record for the most venom extracted from a single funnel-web spider! Thanks to Jake, this venom will be used to create lifesaving antivenom 🤍 | Australian Reptile Park

🕷️FUNNEL-WEB VENOM RECORD BROKEN! 🕷️ After many years, Keeper Jake has taken the title of new record holder for the most amount of Funnel-web venom extracted in a year! Each drop is deadly and keepers work incredibly hard to milk each spider carefully. Since the introduction of the anti-venom program in 1981, not one single person has died from being bitten by a Funnel-web spider. | Australian Reptile Park
