technically a camel spider isnt a spider, it is tho an arachnid Solifuge (Solifugae)
The Australian species of Phlogellius and Selenocosmia locate from Red sand as the primary substrata.
They are about the only ones that can deal with sand as a substrate, Steve Nunn is a highly experineced and knowledgable Australian Theraphosid researcher. He is the guy i spoke to about this some years ago and he only keeps Australian Theraphosids on Sand, no Brachys or
Aphonopelma species

Desert Arizona, sand as sub, no need to fret over humidity, or such like, just keep on sand, and keep warm...

Quite easy to come by.

Lots of attitutude, and active.

Will usually sting their prey.
