New pet

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I believe this unusually warm summer is bringing these guys out more. Since the capture of this one camel spider we have captured 2 more. Not to mention these were all found in our home. The 2nd one was fed to my pet and I smashed the third. A camel spider, hopper and a dozen small crickets and this guy is gettin fat!

These buggers are in most states that have high desert.
They are quite a rare find IMO.
IN the last 9 years these few we have seen in the last year have been the only.
I think its the location we moved to is a little more rocky and has more decomposed granite.
Its also a really hot dry summer and I think that has a little to do w/ it.
 
It's a Vinagaroon. We have tons of them just below you in the valley, really bad this year. Supper neat when they bite you if you like the taste of vinegar for days in your mouth. Also heard them called sun spider, but TMC college told me Vinegaroon.

I always figured they were camel spiders...

They are called a camel quite a bit I was told, I guess they are closely related said the biologist at TMCC. Look at the camel spiders in Iraq on google they are gnarly, and our troops ran into them quite a bit. We also brought him what we thought was a brown recluse and he said it was a Hobo spider. I guess the guy could be wrong but he's the expert not I.

You guys don't know the story of the spider in the toilet bowl. As I'm doin some business, depositing some, I notice something touching my balls... at much as a surprise as I get up, I saw that spider, I haven't finished the whole thing just yet and snapped away like a 5year old girls screaming mommy...
