Redback spider under men's basin at Pines 8-Dec-2009 At 7:49:19 PM Fizz

Jon the Pom had a reback living in his guitar for months one time whilst at the pines. Unfortunately it didn't stop him from playing it. As long as he made sure to break the trigger strands of the web attached to the strings before playing, it wasn't a problem. It was fun to pluck a few strings before that though and watch her come racing out.
It even gave us something to do, by catching flies alive (she wouldn't eat them if the were dead already) and flicking them into the web. Pretty cool when the the eggs hatched and there was a squillion little tiny redbacks running around in the web.
As for the one in the toilets, it's not the first. Leave it be, it's not going to hurt anybody.
If you're worried about a toddler getting bitten then supervise and educate them.
