...btw am gonna get one tomorrow and give it another chance different feeding schedule.good luck with yoursIt's not a spider... the common name is misleading. The animal on the picture is a member of Solifugae, a different group of arachnids from spiders (Araneae). If I had to choose a common name from the ones that have been used, I'd prefer "wind scorpions" over "camel spiders" since Solifugae appear to be more closely related to scorpions (Scorpiones) than spiders (Araneae).but thats a great looking spider

From all I've read, they don't have a "stop eating" awareness switch in their brain. Don't over feed and it might live a while longer!he looks like the ones i found here.i had one but die after i feed it,i just can't figure out the care of this guys or maybe they dont live long? or something idk:?but thats a great looking spider

It's true about overfeeding... I currently have a female Eremobates sp. and she ate most of one mealworm. She is active every night at 12:50 am or later, and having read that they can get stressed out very easily I don't disturb her at all during the day. It's like she has a routine!
