It's because you didn't use the tags correctly. Only the video ID # goes in between the [TIKTOK] tags.

Ooo, that's a very nasty one. Death, baby, death.
It's just a Black Widow, they are far from very deadly unless they are different in Oz. Here in the States, they won't even give a healthy adult the anti-venom unless you are having a reaction to it. They save the anti-venom for the very young and the elderly usually.
It's a different, albeit distantly related species that originated in southern Australia ( if that photo is local). I believe ours are more dangerous but don't have firm figures on it, particularly since there are no deaths since the anti venom was introduced. It's par for the course for everybody to take an anti-venom here if bitten.

Black Widows are pretty common in Colorado. I remember I was working out east of the city when I first moved here, pretty rural still at that point before the city expanded. It was a big steel building and one of the guys in the shop found a couple of Black Widows so they owner decided to call in an exterminator just in case. When they started spraying the building, literally HUNDREDS of them fell out from between the sheet metal layers of the building. Freaked me the fuck out way back then because where I grew up, there weren't really any poisonous spiders
Yeah, they have a thing for being near old rusty metal. Kind of adds to the freak-out effect! Australia is famous for its old tin-roof outdoor toilets, and many an Australian Urban legend was built on a sharp redback bite to the balls when you sit down on the 'dunny'
