Lately i have been really interested in tricolors -- first my tricolor hognose false coral snake hatchlings - and most recently i have been looking for Lampropeltis zonata parvirubra - after some intense looking i found a yearling! Here he is:

Peter, it climbs by pulling itself up the plastic enclosure walls with its long leg-like pedipalps - it is very fast. It has taken to hiding during the day - i guess this is a good thing as opposed to running in circles all day. It was caught during the day running very fast down a desert part...

Thanks everyone - Peter, i misted some water in the enclosure with the solifugid - i noticed that it seemed fatter too - perhaps it was going to molt because it made a burrow in the moistened sand - complete with a little dome on top and disappeared -
