Awesome little guy, but now I must be the bearer of bad news I'm afraid.

What you hav ethere is a solifugid. Its an arachnid, but its not a spider. They do have several nicknames though, including wind spider/scorpion, sun spider/scorpion, and their most famous nickname, the camel spider. Unlike spiders, they're not venomous. They can give a painful bite though.

You'll need a large enclosure, a sandy substrate, and a hot temperature. Use fine grained sand, and make it deep enough to burrow in. You may want to dampen a corner or something to give the sand a burrowing consistency. Temps in the 90s should be ok. They eat a lot, and eat daily, so be prepared to feed it quite a bit. They need places to hide to, but need lots of room to run around. They're the world's fastest land invertebrate. They also live for a maximum lifespan of around 1 year if you're lucky.

That said though, enjoy it while you can, they're really cool inverts
