Not quite ready for a Six Eyed Sand Spider?

If you aren't, that's okay. Take a look at this native U.S. species. Homalonychus sp. or the American Sand Assassin spider. Similar care and behavior but much less lethal venom. Another plus is that this species stays above the sand versus below. Enjoy :)

Was actually thinking the same thing Entity o_O. Looking into this now but I am confident that I have a source somewhere that has this answer to the venom potency and the answer is that the venom is no where near that of the Sicarious. Will circle back.
