Yes, Arizona blonde tarantulas are venomous, they have venomous glands in their fangs and they will inject you with venom if you are bitten by one. It should be noted that Arizona blonde tarantulas aren't too venomous to humans. Their venom is not as bad as you might think. The venom of Arizona blonde tarantulas is similar to that of a wasp or bee. You will probably be fine if you are bit unless you have a severe allergic reaction. Then you'd have to go seek immediate medical attention.

The Arizona blonde tarantula's bite is usually its last line of defense anyways, so as long as you pay attention to the other signals it's giving you, you won't get bit in the first place.

I highly recommend reading the Wiki page for Arizona blonde tarantulas to learn more about their defensive behaviors.
