My Solifugid

One of my only two arachnids (for now..) It was just sold to me as a "sun spider," though after some research I think it may be a Galeodes arabs. I know very, VERY little of the taxonomy of arachnids, though, so that's probably wrong

The first two pics were taken on the substrate that it came on. I put her on a different substrate, a sand-type stuff made of crushed wallnut shells. (I have no idea what sex it is, but I've been calling it a her...)

Here she is eating a cricket. Crunchy! (Sorry about the pic... Rocks are more in focus than she is)

This is a very awesome site, though it definitely makes my knowledge of arachnids feel woefully lacking Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

Yeah, I found out after doing some research about their short lifespan... It's too bad, but it was a very cool thing to keep, even if it does turn out to only be for a little while.

At least it's eating well; that seems like a pretty good sign...
