Pretty sure you could just ask a few troops to bring some home for you, plenty in iraq.

I have done and would do again easily, they are one of the best inverts about, can't really say anything about people wanting them as pets when some people keep beetles, stick insects and stuff.

I agree. Tailess whips won't win any beauty contests either, but are popular

Compared to the Solifugids whip scorps are the bottom of the list.

Get yourself some mate, you won't regret it

they're bizarre looking for sure, but that's part of the appeal. i'll definitely get more.
maybe i'm in the minority, but tailless whip scorpions are really cool looking to me!

I can see the beauty in almost any animal but camel spiders are beyond me. Like Centipedes.....

oh c'mon man...centipedes are gorgeous animals! they are ferocious, sure, but the colours on certain specimens are unreal.
i'll admit alot of solifugids are plainly coloured, but any fan of Giger should love them, i reckon
ah well, beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder

Centipedes are ugly as sin, same as solifugids, but that doesn't stop me seeing the 'beauty' in them, I love the sort of mechanical movements of centipedes and the pure disregard for their 'safety' when launching themselves at you

The solifugids I love because they are a 'hybrid' between scorps and spids which to me is mint, plus have you seen those mandibles chewing somethin up, pure destruction
