PikzeeVikzen 0 #17 June 21, 2007 QuoteLooks like those camel spiders the guys in Iraq took pics of. Some of them are bigger than a mans boot. they are more of a desert brown color and have a hard outer shell. They also jump! It looks tarantula-ish to me. Did the pet store not know what they were selling? I'm the twist that turns your key.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #19 June 21, 2007 It's obviously a tarantula, as Clint mentioned, but I'm having trouble placing it. If not for the more almond-shaped abdomen, I'd say it was a Pterinochilus chordatus.

AndyBoyd 0 #21 June 21, 2007 "Looks like those camel spiders the guys in Iraq took pics of. Some of them are bigger than a mans boot." Camel spiders aren't that big. Just use google and you can find out about them. They are 5-6 inches at their biggest. Take a close look at that picture, and you can see it's a bit of an optical illusion. Look at the guy's sleeve who is holding the spider for a good reference point. These are scary animals, though. I'd hate to find one in my sleeping bag.

They typically don't spin snare webs, but they will line their habitats with web, as well as covering their egg masses with it. Funnel-web tarantulas (much smaller than regular tarantulas) spin snare webs.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
