New Zealand Keepers? (Porrhothele antipodiana)

[Kabvki]

Does anyone keep in New Zealand? And/Or alternatively, does anyone keep porrhothele antipodiana (NZ black tunnelweb spider)? I'm very interested in keeping tarantulas, but it's illegal to import, so a large spider will have to do.

If you do live in New Zealand and keep spiders, is this anywhere to buy from, or do you catch them yourself?

Thank you so much!

I live in the UK but own a female Porrhothele antipodiana. Fantastic spiders.
