oh, man! do you keep the spider at home!?
That is a camel spider,t hey live mostly in the middle east countries.
No it's not.
fuck you!
damn! that's not a spider that's a fucking beast
hell yeah!
where do you live?
old pic is, well, old
how big is it? hairy spiders are scary.
That pic looks pretty fake to me.
But yeah I have heard a bigillion over exaggerated stories about camel spiders from guys who went to Iraq. But eventually you get the truth out that they are no where near as fast or big as the stories. Lucky for me Afghanistan has no camel spiders.
first of all, that is not a camel spider.
second, that lizard could be really tiny for all we know.
I doubt it's a fake picture, and I doubt that spider is as huge as the picture makes it look like. but it's still scary as fuck.
well, because I'm a fucking nerd. I took some time and did a serious google hunt for the origin of this pic. I couldn't find where it came from. But it was on a bunch of other forums just like this with people going " OMFG ITS SOOO BIGZZZZ EWWWWW" just like this. And other people saying " I'm pretty sure its fake" just like me. But I did find one with a guy who seemed like he knew what he was talking about who said that this spider should be about the size of the palm of your hand. And that it's draining the blood from the lizard, not eating it.
I could believe that. there are spiders at least as big as your palm.
Though not an actual spider, these Spider Crabs are freaky as hell. Imaging running into one of these fuckers?

for sure
The biggest spiders in the world fit in a soup plate.
Also camel spiders aren't really spiders. They have more in common with scorpions.
Also of course it's draining blood from the lizard, that's what pretty much every spider does.

not to be a douche and correct such a small detail, but i find it interesting.
the spiders not drinking its blood, they bite and inject venom into what ever they catch (in this case a gecko). the venom either paralyzes or kills what it caught. then the venom turns it's insides into liquid ( which would of course kill anything paralyzed). then the spider drinks the liquid.
again sorry i watch ALOT of animal planet/discovery channel
i'm not sure what kind of spider that is, but that looks like its eating a house gecko (hard to tell only seeing the under belly) so a palm or slightly bigger size spider would be believable.
IT'S STILL A SCARY ASS PICTURE
fuck yeah. i turn into a little girl around spiders.
once i was driving and saw a spider float down on my left. i slammed on the brakes, put the car in park, and pushed my confused girlfriend out her door so i could scramble out her side. all in a matter of like 5 seconds. the spider crawled out my open window and i began to kick the crap out of my car killing the that little ninja bastard. that'll teach him to repel down and sneak attack me. true story
in my country, theres this big spider, about 2 inch long (including the feet/hands) it looks scary specialy if its the first time you see it. but its a good spider. it doesnt bite and its web is fucking strong than the usual.
i think this is it.

thats fukin hilarious however i can relate......
it's pretty easy to judge the over all size of the spider.
look at the bars.
they are most likely at most an inch wide, maybe a little more or less. you can also tell by the lines running down it which appears to be from water. so the bar is about an inch...let's say that it is an inch exactly.
the spider's body would be two inches long. and so a leg span of about six to seven and a half inches.
or the size of your palm...like a couple of others said.
that would mean that the gecko is about four to five inches
pretty simple.
and the biggest spider has a leg span of about twelve inches...
which means that there is probably a spider out there with a body that is about eight by four inches with a leg span of about 20 inches or so.
you know how those hidden species and freak occurrences are...that big mother fucker can't get no dick cause everything is too afraid of it.
