I had a solfugid that looked just like yours a little while back. I had him(her?) for over a month, until it died from what seemed like old age. From what I have heard and experienced, you should consider yourself fairly lucky to have seen yours eat. Supposedly it is very rare to observe a solfugid hunting and eating, and I only saw mine eat twice. I am sure that you will enjoy your new pet!

Actually, I think it's Eremobates, since he mentioned in annother thread that he caught it himself in California. That's the genus that includes most of the large NA species.
