it does look identical to the huntsman spider thats my guess as wellLooks like some sorts of huntsman spider (Sparassidae) to me.
I don't think that the Brazilian wandering spider gets that big, I think it gets to about 13 cm leg span top and on the pictures I don't see any black bands on its legs so again I'm leaning to a huntsman spider. These guys can get pretty big.All I know is the guys thinks it looks like a Brazilian wandering spider. now im not sure how big they get but this spider is about 16-18cm. also like I said im from south Africa and these guys are not from here unless someone had one as a pet and it maybe escaped I don't see how it can be the Brazilian. he said he was cleaning his yard and bumped the fence when this guy came out. he says the spider is lightning fast and seems aggressive.
Here's the huntsmanHere is the bad pic
You're welcomeI will have to agree with you thank you very much for the help
Yes, my guess too.Palystes castaneus would be my guess from what I can see of it.
