Size of a man's palm. Or a little more, if it stretches out the legs completely.

Thanks. I am glad my phone camera works well at times. I used a torch light too as it was quite dark where I spotted it.

No no.. We don't have tarantulas here. It's legs are slender. It's less hairy and has a smaller body.
