Very cool, that Huntsman is awesome, has it ever been kept in captivity?
Also that red and blue spider looks like a Latrodectus!

Not as far as I know, I think its a pandercetes sp but not sure. The Blue one is closely related to nephila its an orb weaver. They were very common in our lodgings grounds.
