I honestly hope that these reptiles do NOT make it into the import market for pets. I feel this way because 1. I'm drunk and 2. I just think that if importers start up, we(enthusiasts), will destroy the population of these new species.

What do you think? Am I being rational?

lol camel spiders have been availible for a while now. they sell them at my local reptile shows like candy. but i personally would not want one. never got into the spider thing exept when i ended up getting a bunch of tarantulas by accident so i just fed thed off to my monitors as big fiesty treats.

Articles like this really tell you how little we still know about whats out there, and the species that get destroyed everyday with us NOT even discovering them yet :roll:
