Boy survives (10-year ) Australian has survived a deadliest spiders one of the world
He was having seizures and sweat was dripping off him, his mother said.
Matthew was given 12 vials of antivenom, a record according to Australian Reptile Park general manager Tim Faulkner.
"I've never heard of it, it's incredible," he told AAP on Friday.
"To walk out of hospital a day later with no effects is a testament to the antivenom."
An average funnel-web bite usually requires three to five vials of antivenom.
The male funnel-web is five times more venomous than the female, Mr Faulkner said, describing Matthew's bite as "significant".
"It would have been a fatal bite (without antivenom) there's little to no doubt of that," he said.
