Giant Camel Spider (Solifugid) Burrowing/Digging Behavior
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 23 Oct 2013
My giant Egyptian Banded Camel Spider (Galeodes granti), named Osiris, digging a burrow. I find it's digging and pushing technique to be quite funny, in an interesting way.
I adopted this camel spider recently from a family that couldn't take care of it. It was massively obese and has since been on a strict diet. It has lost some weight but still needs to lose some more.
This particular solifugid is about 5-6 inches long. Supposedly they can get bigger than that but we shall see.
