Can someone identify this?

So here we have... The Clock Spider:

How many of you would remove the clock?
Someone did...

Anyone know what it is?!

 

[loxoscelesfear]

huntsman spider

 

[beetleman]

yup, heteropoda sp. (male) possibly venatoria

 

[Conrad]

Thanks guys!

Not my pictures, by the way. Found them on another forum - just thought it looked rather large and menacing.

 

[DrGigglez666]

Dang that huntsman is huge!!! I would of caught it and raised it!!

 

[loxoscelesfear]

would def be awesome to have in my collection... i wonder how many heart-attacks these spiders have caused

LOVE the clock shot! I'd let her hang out where she wants in the house.
I should get some for my spider room, but I'd be worried that they would get outside.

Pancake bunny has big teeth and a pancake ..nothin beats pancake bunny.
Didnt know that was an image going around...

 

[wh6fxe]

It's not venatoria.

 

[Steven Gielis]

It looks like a Holconia. Where is that picture shot?

 

[Conrad]

I don't know I'm afraid. Someone just put them up on another forum I'm part of, saying that he got them off another forum. I imagine they've just propagated around the net, and the origins are lost in the mists of time...

I have seen that pic many times before and I believe the origin of it was Australia if my memory serves me right.

 

[JMoran1097]

holy crap! dude, did you catch it?

 

[lucanidae]

It is definitely Holconia. I've kept immanis, nigrigularis, and flindersi and it is none of those.
