Tiger snakes dont fuck around.
Where I live we get western brown snakes and dugites. They can fuck you up but theyre not as notoriously aggro as tigers or some taipans are.

They're creepy as fuck but at least they're pretty much harmless.

It's not all bad in Australia... I have two stand out memories of creatures when growing up.
The first was picking bark off a gum tree and a huntsman hiding underneath and scurrying up into my shorts. The bugger didn't even bite me.
The second was running across the bush track to my friends house and jumping over a big 'stick'. As I jumped I realised this stick moved, I turned around and saw a brown snake slither away. Brown snakes are nothing to sneeze at...
"The eastern brown snake, often referred to as the common brown snake, is a species of venomous elapid snake of the genus Pseudonaja. This snake is considered the world's second most venomous land snake based on its LD₅₀ value in mice."

I inherited a tarantula from my brother in the late 90s, he had a fascination with exotic pets that usually ended a few months into actually taking care of it. But it was a really interesting learning experience even if it's pretty boring as a 'pet'. I didn't handle it or anything but after living with one of those my instinctive 'spider response' was dulled almost to nothing.
Of course one of the things I learned is that tarantulas can squeeze through openings way smaller than you'd expect. Which led to me having to give it away

Brazilian Wandering Spider is one of the most scary ones:
Fuck this spider and its hairy prolapsed butthole.
They are aggressive and they will go for you if they see you. It's one of the things that gives me doubts about visiting the amazon. You cannot be aware all the time.Such a small spider could realistically sneak onto you wherever you are in the rain forest. in a shoe, while sitting down. just jumping down on you from a tree.

Look at the consequences of being bitten by one:

fuck this thread
Calzone?
I really don't like the typical "house spider" that we get a lot of here in the UK, or as I call them, "medium sized spiders". They're just so ugly and brown and menacing looking, and run stupidly fast over your front room carpet when you're trying to watch Eastenders.
I don't think I've ever recovered from the one time I saw one running towards me on my pillow whilst I was trying to sleep.
*shudder*

I have to say, that thing looks pretty cool.Huntsman spiders are scary looking but pretty harmless.
The Sydney Funnel Web spider however is pure nightmare fuel
Those things utterly freak me out, if they are similar to the ones we get in the US. (Which don't bite people, even when you try to make them, BTW.)
I knew there was gonna to be foolishness posted in this thread....yet here I am again ready to be creeped out.
LMAO!!

The same natural process that created us, created them.
The fuck?
The fuck?
Scorpions can be very nasty. There are some seriously venomous ones out there (and unlike the wandering spider these live close to people in some countries), they're more likely to be provoked, and many more people die from scorpion stings than spider bites every year.
That's not to say Scorpions are out to kill you, they're not, but one should take a lot of precaution with them.
