I caught one about 2 inches long in Glamis CA over the weekend. Just went down there to ride and watch the Sand Rails race, and one morning I came out side of the trailer and saw a small white spider digging like Hell! And I just threw a cup over it. When I looked closer I realized that I had caught a freakin Camel Spider!! So I i took it home with me and now its living in my 10 gallon terrarium filled with Glamis sand. So far I’m just feeding it small crickets, hopefully it lives and grows to its maximum length!

I want one as a pet. They look cuddly
ARE YOU CRAZY!?
People, there have been cases when someone has lost their leg in their sleep from camel spiders. What they have is some sort of venom or chemical that makes it so you don’t feel the bite.. then they eat.
There is also a kind of spider in Brazil that does run and scream after you and it is NOT the camel spider, but it is bigger.
