Found: In tropical areas and deserts throughout the world

Even the manliest of men would find these hairy, fanged beasts slightly menacing. However, if you're looking for an exotic pet on the cheap, a Tarantula won't cost an arm and a leg (maybe just a finger).

They are also very quiet animals and require surprisingly little maintenance or cleaning. But if you're a big girl's blouse, don't even consider buying one of these bad boys. They feed on anything from cockroaches to live mice and fish.
