hello, been a long time since i posted here, but i just couldn't resist this beauty at the shop...this is the only picture i could find online at the moment, as i don't know the proper scientific name, and the source of this picture was in German.
it was sold to me as an "Egyptian sun spider" if that helps:

i was told they can live about 2 years. all i know is it's quite small, maybe an inch and a half, and meant to be a baby. i have numerous other arachnids, but this is my first foray into the world of solifugids...and i must say i'm really pleased about it!
any help would be wonderful!
