"Outside", where I brought them in from, is a sub-tropical pine woods. There could be tarantulas there. Or even small snakes. I've certainly seen geckos and anole lizards in the house. Not to mention "palmetto bugs", a nice southern euphemism for Carboniferous-age insect monsters that have the shape of those wussy things northerners call "roaches", only about 4x the size.
(Okay, I've only seen the monster magnolia-leaf sized ones in Key West, but the "smaller" ones are still easily 2-3x the size of German cockroaches. And they fly.)
If it crawls or scuttles on more than four legs, we have too many, too big, around here.
