My new friend.

Subject: My new friend. 7/12/2012, 11:43 am

Hello,
This is my new friend. I was traveling in Eastern New Mexico for the Army and I think I may have had a stowaway on my gear. I live in Central Alabama and am not sure if this Guy/Girl is from the SW or SE. Could someone please help me ID my new friend? I am thinking about keeping him around since I don't have any pets. I can provide more pics if it helps with the ID process.

V/R,
Brian

Looks like a Vaejovis carolinianus to me.

+1 to that. Definately looks like a V. carolinianus. They aren't found in New Mexico but they are found in Alabama, so it's probably hitched a very long ride from your home town lol.

Thanks for the help. I am going to make him a new home in my office. I better start reading on how to care for him.
