I used to dig worms at Kayuga (Hunter Valley), for fishing. The Mouse Spiders there were awesome. Not sure if they reached those dimensions but what a fearsome looking spider. absolutely beautiful.

I've been told they are just as poisonous as funnel webs.

Any of these in the captive trade?

occasionally you can get some but very rarely offered for sale. As far as i know none are being bred. You never see them and they tend to just drop dead.
