Macrothele id

Was sold a macrothele sp. “phageo”. Wondered if anyone had information on this spider.
Thanks

I have one and they seem pretty hardy. I keep mine on deep substrate and i mist every 3 days. I placed some cork bark pieces in the enclosure so it could anchor its web.As for venom potency it has not been well researched but handle with caution as macrothele are known to have potent venom. They can not climb smooth surfaces but will quickly build webs and can climb up the webbing.
