I was all doing a hissy fit, calling the front desk from a safe distance away, screeching, doing the hissy fit dance, etc. The maintenance guy came in and told me that there were not tarantulas in Florida. He took a look at the furry beast, said "Hmm, someone's pet must have gotten away," and went for poison. Now, the Everglades are full of introduced pythons. Coincidence? I think not. I think they think the big hairy spiders are yummy mammals or something!

Yep, not a Tarantula. They like deserty climates. Probably a cane spider or a central american banana spider. They get big and are brown (and aggressive). They like wet, tropical, climates....
