Am I allowed to post wild spiders or is this just for pet ones?

I don't understand: you are saying this is unsexed? It is a female, without question. Check the pedipalps - there are clearly no bulbs (copulatory bulbs) present, so female. That's all you need to see. But beyond that, this species is tremendously sexually dimorphic, the coloration and size are dead giveaways. Males are tiny and a darker, brownish color. Here is a great example: http://www.findaspider.org.au/find/spiders/images/314F10.jpg with the tiny male on the back of the female.
