Even human saliva is considered slightly toxic but that doesn't make us venomous; though I think they might be Opisthoglyphous (rear-fanged), like boomslangs or mangrove snakes. I think they have quite a mild venom but not sure.
Some Poecilotheria, can't remember all the exceptions but I'm sure that Ornata will cannibalize.
Monocentropus balfouri can be kept communally.
Hysterocrates gigas could be but they get quite large so I guess you'd need a large enclosure.

There was an old post a while back...
Why don't you try to tease it out with some straw or something? I can't see that stressing out the spider too much apart from the false hope of a meal.
I'm not sure if its a myaglomorph or araneomorph but Linothele megatheloides are heavy webbers and I don't think they get that big.
edit: it looks like a mygalomorph
Hi,
Today 2 new diadema's arrived; adult male & female.
Male looks fine but on close inspection to the female it seems like she has some sort of very round swelling on the right side of her opisthosoma - it looks green unlike pictures of cysts I've seen on tarantulas.
I guess I should...
Trying to get to sleep just now when I was awoken by a loud drumming sound of which I listen to as I type; I flick to light switch to notice my young juevenile OBT drumming its heart out with its pedipalps; does this mean its an immature male looking for love?
I first noticed this behaviour...
I've never used this technique but have read that an inch of water in a bathtub with both enclosures in can work well; the T will not want to go into the water and you can easily usher it into the new enclosure
