OK, it's a tarantula, but it is furry
 When we cleared the land for the house we wiped them out. They are finally coming back. They are damned cool. The body is about 2" and the whole thing is about 4" across.

We name our lizards. One is called Stumpy. 
ETA: The one in the pic is Merlin the Lizard. He's asleep on our screen and I measured him at 11".

He's a big'n. What kind is he?
Down in the Keys we have Green Iguanas. This one was my mother's pet. Washed up in her yard after Hurricane Georges in 98 and stuck around for about 4 yrs. He was just a tad over 5ft.. She called him Iggy. You could hand feed him if you approached him slowly.

Clark's Spiny.
The tarantula followed us home and showed up at (on) the front door. This is about 100' from the first photo. "Mom, he followed me home. Can I keep him?"

Iguanas
A Scottish friend of ours used to work for ONA (Overseas National Airline) as a kind of "facilitator". She was sent to some African country and, when she checked into her "hotel", as she headed to her hut, the deskman said, "Mam, your iguana." He gave her a candle and an iguana. Don't see service like that here!
