When I read your post I thought 'Camel Spider' 'that sounds kinda friendly'.....then googled for it and THAT came up
Are they venomous?

No, however some people think they may have a mild anticoagulent, because bites often bleed more than usual.

They have 4 large mouthparts, two at the top, and two opposing at the bottom. They would nip a bit!

Not technically true.

There is one genus (Mesothelae) that lacks venom completely.

But Camel spiders are not actually spiders anyway :P
