Black camel spider

[Spinnenfritzi]

I found a breeder in my homecountry who sells those little nutters.

Should i get one? Whats your experience with camel spiders?

I'd ask @attenboroughii

i second @attenboroughii, check out his thread on Solifugae

a friend of mine, as well as some other aquantances got some too, probably from the same breeder you are talking about, since they got cb slings

i didn't get in on the order so this is second hand information, but it seems most of the people who participated in the order are having troubles, but those are the same people who can't keep Phiddipus regius slings alive, so ... not all that surprising sadly.

my friend has no problem with them, but quite a few of the others seem to have a problem with mites, probably a sign their care is off (in my opinion), it would be awfully lucky if somehow the three my friend got were the only ones without mites on them. they all came from the same breeder too.

I first bred this species in 2017, but at the time other breeder were having trouble with mites.
At that time it was not yet known that this species prefers a dry environment, so he always kept the humidity high and used silica sand.
The same is true for this species, which is more susceptible to mite attacks when placed in an unsuitable environment for keeping.
