Anybody here who is keeping this species?
I'm about to make a deal to get an adult female H. venatoria, and I'd like to know how to house them, what to feed them, temp/humidity etc. etc.

They are easy to keep, any set up that will work for an aboreal tarantula will work for a huntsman. I keep them in one gallon jars with vertically arranged cork slabs inside and a small water dish. They are speed deamos, faster than ANY tarantula, so watch out for that! Two or three crickets every couple of weeks seem to keep them fat and happy.
