@Venom100 after another bit of info reading, the Macrothele genus is actually pretty closely related to my Curtain Webs, they once even classified in the same family (Dipluridae), and it looks like they grow to a fairly similar size, 30mm fangs to spinnerets.
This is my Austrlothele Nambucca female
They literally web everywhere, and I got the rare chance to see a large colony of them in the wild on the weekend, it's a sight to behold seeing their little burrows everywhere. I can assure you Macrothele will be a very interested genus to own
@RezonantVoid wow that was definitely a very informative comment. I always look forward to your comments knowing I’m going to learn something. I def can see the strong resemblance in the Macrothele genus and your speciemens. I plan to do a lot of observations with my new additions and record any new findings due to the minimal amount of information on that genus. I also found out importing any of the Macrothele genus spiders for personal use does not require a importing license just notification to inspectors prior to ordering and a small fee.
