Stephy Furret, a resident of Cleveland in the US state of Ohio, showcases his unique collection of unusual pets.

The footage shows a beautiful Indian ornamental tarantula peacefully sitting on its owner's hand, a Mexican fire leg tarantula showing off its beautiful colours, a Pueblan Milk Snake, and a Vinegaroon.

Stephy explained that the latter is "a very strange and unusual creature. These animals are arachnids and are completely harmless! Their only means of defense is shooting a spray from the tip of their long tail, which, although harmless, will stink of vinegar".

With regards to the snake, Stephy said: "This is a harmless snake whose color pattern closely mimics the pattern of the venomous coral snake, using it to ward off predators and tricking them into believing it is dangerous. They are called "Pueblan" snakes because they're native to the Mexican state of Puebla, as well as other dry, arid desert regions throughout Central Mexico".
