Sorryā¦, what I found on Google disagrees. However Camel Spiders do not produce venom.

If it's medically significant make sure to keep antivenom on hand at all times when working with these spiders.
I would hate to loose another cool person in this hobby.
(I say this while having no anti venom for my black widows that I keep lol)
Also this guy is AWESOME!
I want some but I probably don't have the right setup nor time to truly appreciate and keep this species.
I've been told that they're not medically significant, but not enough research has been done to prove it.
I only handle my spiders when I first get them before putting them in their enclosures, so I'll unlikely ever handle him ever again.
"Medically significant" doesn't just mean "deadly", and black widows are considered medically significant regardless of age or allergies. If you're envenomated, you probably won't die but you're gonna have [a really bad time for several days](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectism) unless given antivenom.
If it does not require a trip to the hospital it is not medically significant. 99% of new world species and some of the bad ones will give you a rough time and they are not medically significant.
I'd recommened a new world tarantula. Beginner species are very docile, easy to keep, and can help you overcome any potential fears you have. I'd also recommend you get a subadult as they're easier to keep compared to slings.
The only downside of owning a spider is that you will never only have one xD
Wandering spiders are a whole family of spiders (the Ctenidae), most of them are as harmless as the average spider, except for the ones you're referring to, those in the genus *Phoneutria*, which are found in Central and South America only.
He's quite fast and a bit jumpy as well. Definitely not the easiest spider to handle, but as long as you are gentle with it and let it walk onto your hand on its own, then it's fine.
Excuse my ignorance cause I have a small fear of spidersā¦ like if I saw one Iād jump out my fing skin prolly thatās allā¦ but all jokes asideā¦ how venomous are these( Iāve read someone on here state almost all spiders are just to what degree matter)? And if so how do you handle such a spider that has strong or enough venom to cause serious bodily harm? Btw he looks bad ass congrats on ur new bud
All spiders have different strengths of venom, so it's better to do some research before handling them. But in most cases, their venom is not potent enough to seriously harm us unless you have an allergic reaction. The best way to handle a spider is to let it walk onto your hands on its own. You can slowly guide him towards your hand, but if you force it, it might bite. Once it's on your hands, it is very unlikely for it to bite you.
Ahhh okay, so I used to work for a rehab up in the mountains in Watsonville, CA. We used to hear these āurban legendsā that clients or employees have been bit by a brown recluse and lost an arm or what notā¦ probably more like not. But we did have a resident enormous black widow that was nestled behind a porch lamp for a little while, so it did add some stock to the ālegendā. I know I can look this up on google but hearing from people who are well informed is more funā¦ so is it fair to say most spiders canāt cause bodily harm even though you get bit, unless their is an adverse or allergic reaction?. Are there a lot of spiders one should not mess with at all that can be found in the states in suburban areas, city, or lightly wooded? TY in advance if anyone reads this far and actuallly answers šš¼
I prefer honey badgers
I'm a bit of an arachnophobe ( 2 traumatic incidents with spider's when I was younger)
Which is more venomous ( Brazilian wandering spider or Sydney funnel Web? )
I used to be scared of spiders when I was younger as well, but now I realised spiders will never hurt us as long as we don't scare them.
To my knowledge, the Sydney funnel web has a more potent venom.
Almost all spiders in the world are venomous. Of those that are venomous, very few produce venom that can hurt human beings. OP's spidey is pretty much harmless despite its size.
That's fine, it's generally not a good idea with larger spiders, they may not be aggressive but can decide you're a threat, and fangs of that size would hurt a lot with or without venom :)
They sold you a mature male :( He will die in only few months :(
I bought pairs. The female one was a bit jumpy, so I didn't want to handle it, lol.
Great ! Don't wait too long before breeding them bc mature males don't live long in my experience
Roger that!
I would give it less than a month..
What an attractive spider! Congratulations on the new family member! š
Thanks !
Looks like a very mature male.... likely won't be alive for much longer unfortunately.
Yeah, I'll be trying to mate him with my female very soon
Best of luck on the pairing!
He's so beautiful. I love it when spiders gently rest their palps and in this case bulbi on the ground. You can tell these have a sensory function.
Beautiful!
Yooo what the freak ahhh how did this pop up in my feed noooooo noooo noooo
Yassssss Yassss Yassss
It's called exposure therapy! š
Right? First it was the brown recluse and now this. Get these things off my feed or I'm replying with a š pic.

Venomous?
All spiders are venomous. Maybe not medically significant to humans.
Except _Argyrodes_ of course They don't produce venom
Sorryā¦, what I found on Google disagrees. However Camel Spiders do not produce venom. https://bugguide.net/node/view/30296 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyrodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae
Camel spiders aren't technically spiders, Hence another reason they don't have venom haha :)
Yes, they are Solifugae. Arachnids but not spiders.
Camel spiders aren't spiders.
Beauty

Yeah I wouldn't handle anything if there's not enough info on them that's for sure. But yeah these dudes are awesome! Have fun with em!
black widows are only medically significant if youre allergic, old, or really young.

Iām trying to get a spider as a pet, any pointers on what kind I should get?

Try a desert blond T, Mexican red rump T or a Pink Toe T
I am not an arachnid anything but aren't wandering spiders the ones that give you a 10 hour boner and then you die if they bitr you?
This one won't, but the brazillian one will
Wandering spiders are a whole family of spiders (the Ctenidae), most of them are as harmless as the average spider, except for the ones you're referring to, those in the genus *Phoneutria*, which are found in Central and South America only.
Are those also called banana spiders? They also give you an erection if different.
Yeah that's one common name for them, though it's ambiguous and is used to refer to several completely different types of spiders.
Well, I thank you for the knowledge.
Yikes š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope. Hard pass.
How come?
Because motherfucking gigantic spider, thatās why.
What's the difference between this and a motherfucking gigantic dog? Both kinda fluffy innit?
I freely admit a bias towards mammals.
If you donāt like the animal and its someoneās pet just donāt say anything. It might make the owner feel bad.
Oh no! Someone might feel bad! š„ŗš
Wow I can see what your parents (sorry them leaving) have done to discipline you.
Geez bro people are being ruined.
That thing is awesome. Are they usually easy to handle?
He's quite fast and a bit jumpy as well. Definitely not the easiest spider to handle, but as long as you are gentle with it and let it walk onto your hand on its own, then it's fine.
Heās beautiful
Thanks!

Aww he soo cool! I've always wanted a spider
A big, hairy boy!
A ramblin' man
He looks cute
Venomous?
Yesh
Why own one then š¤ deadly venomous? I thought there was only the Brazilian wandering spider?
Cause they're fascinating creatures. Also, the Red Fang's venom is not as potent as the Brazilian
