Harley had a Chilean Rose tarantula a while ago. It pushed open the lid of its aquarium and escaped. Luckily I found it before the dog did as they can give a nasty bite.
In Oman we used to get camel spiders in the desert. If one came upon you asleep it would inject an anaesthetic and eat, say, part of your ear off. We used to watch out for them very carefully in the same way that we used to check our boots for scorpions before putting them on.
