Well... all spiders are venomous, it's how they eat. But the vast majority can do no harm to you, and there are only 2 in the US (black widow and brown recluse) that are known to give major bites. So... if it's cute, keep it!

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."

I once had a shipment of crickets come with 2 brown recluse spiders. Scarey thing is I almost touched one not realizing what it was at first... I killed them and I.D. them. So My suggestion would be to get a picture of it and get it IDed asap. If you don't want to kill it, Fine, Just get a pic of it and make sure it can't get out of what you're keeping it in! But You should definatly ID the thing before deciding to keep it....
