I've heard some guys speak fondly of camel spiders and say they would have one as a pet. I guess because they probably owned tarantulas before. What about you? Want a camel spider for a pet? Your thoughts on these lovely little critters?

The best way to pet a spider is with the heel of your boot.

I once watched a Soldier armed with a SAW run like a little girl with one of these right behind him.
I think the camel spider just wanted to stay in his shadow for shade.

I have heard 14 soldiers running and screaming like girls when they saw a camel spider in their tent.
