Though imagine if camel spiders could swim or dive. They could sneak into your bath.

Anxiety said:

But snakehead fish can do that right now!

Yeah, but I just decided camel spiders are scarier than snakehead fish. Though it would really suck twice as bad if a camel spider snuck in one end of the bath and a snakehead fish snuck in the other. That would be really just too unpleasant.

i bet it can jump too. that's what i'm afraid of. spiders scuttle, if you know what i mean, and drop down on a person. but the really, really scary ones, imo, are the ones that can jump.

i don't see any need to go mentioning the word 'bath' in the same sentence as 'camel spiders' and 'snakehead fish'. we wouldn't want people to go developing phobias, especially not those with a natural fear of spiders and a love of long hot baths. besides, i bet a desert spider can't even swim, right:-?

XxAxX said:

Like no way man, the snakehead fish can do its thing outside of water for extended periods of time.

AND did I mention snakehead fish can walk on their fins?

Whether you go with the fish or the spider, you're not safe either way. Your best bet is to hope that they both decide to attack you at the same time and wind up getting distracted and battling each other. Then you can sneak off and escape.

Anxiety said:

yes, but the fish is not designed for travel above water. that is, until it evolves further it will still move relatively slowly and be earthbound while dragging itself about by its flippers. spiders, on the other hand scuttel, dangle and spring at people.

let's just hope neither snake nor spider end up in a drainage ditch downstream from a nuclear plant and soak up toxic radioactive mutant chemicals. .. because that would probably speed up their evolution and turn them into flesh-eaters. i saw that in a movie once, so it's probably true.

Stop the insanity! Think of the children!!!

Yes, but I wouldn't count out the snakehead fish completely. Camel spiders just have the two sharp mandible fangs (granted, they're the size of flamingo beaks), while the snakehead fish has a whole mouth full of razor sharp teeth. And imagine what would happen if you were walking down a deserted country road in the middle of the night and accidentally STEPPED on a snakehead fish.

What I'm really worried about is that the camel spider and the snakehead fish will engage in an unholy mating ritual and give birth to the snakehead spider. Both species lay eggs, you know. So it could happen, realistically speaking.

Anxiety, you JIVE TURKEY, taking it this far!!

If this shirt were green, short sleeved, and were in glitter letters, it would look like the shirt I used to own that the bird pooped on as soon as I stepped outside.

But that's beside the point.

I can't help it if there are many safety precautions to consider regarding snakehead fish and camel spiders. It is not unacceptable to discuss all the horrible things that could happen - in fact, it is NON-UNACCEPTABLE.

Maybe you need another picture of a camel spider to give you a wake up call:
