Remote Controlled Tarantula

Remote Controlled Tarantula

For young collectors of rodents, reptiles, and other exotic pets, whose mothers have outlawed all creatures with six or more legs, the Remote Controlled Tarantula ($30) makes a creepily lifelike surrogate. Send your new pal scurrying in any direction from up to 25 feet away. The tarantula glides smoothly over the floor on a set of wheels, but an additional motor causes the legs to move as well for a disturbing quality of realism.
