new Huntsman

[Darius]

I just caught a new huntsman, i dont know what kind of huntsman it is but it stayed in my house for almost 3 days now, any tips how to care for this spider?

The location where you found it (your profile says you are in Canada but I can't imagine such a large huntsman being found so far north...) would be helpful in order to try and determine species and thus figure out the care necessary.

Thanks,

I say Heteropoda venatoria

Definitely Heteropoda, probably venatoria. Pretty one too.

The coloration is very reminiscent of that common one found in Aus. I'm seeing why Jaeger has been so hesitant to ID to the species of late and is waiting out the DNA database. So many similarities and slight variations.

Which one? This one is almost certainly H. venatoria

Gleep. The pic I saw posted in the last 5 months from someone in Aus somewhere! (Is that like Michael J Fox's comment on Family Ties "Somebody stupid called about something trivial sometime today." ?)
