Default I bit the Bullet, and tasted bullsh..

Hehe i got a Camel spider today, got it home thinking ti would be all scarey and feisty...and couldnt have been more surprised!

It was shy, and retreating, and HANDLABLE!!!!!!

It bites if held (tweesers) but is ok when on the hand. It runs away, and to toward.

It cannot climb plastic tank, let alone glass! And there is no way it could go through metal!

Pics will follow! Just uploading.

Look at some of the information online, apparently they can bite through wire mesh etc...

But there is (IMHO) No way on earth that this little guy would be able to. When it gets HUGE (if it is a larger species of course) it may have a slim chance, but i doubt it
