Our neighbor had one -- the 9 year old girl said, 'Daddy, there's a black widow spider in the garage' -- Daddy said, 'Oh come on, there is not.... oh.. it is.'
When we were on vacation in Key West, we saw a 'dead' scorpion -- so, being the inquisitive person I am, I took the hotel card-key and touched it and it zipped across the floor. It was obviously not dead.

So far though, we've seen lots of lizards -- I'm pretty good at catching them now and don't need to throw a towel over them to catch them anymore. Those legless lizards that look like little snakes are pretty quick too. Haven't seen any pygmy rattlesnakes or black widows.
We did have a wolf-spider invasion -- had a really huge one that looked sort of fuzzy until I whacked it and about 30 little baby spiders exploded onto the surrounding floor.
