Tarantulas are venomous not poisonous. Venom bites you. You bite poison. All tarantulas have a form of venom. The difference is a new world tarantula kicks urticating satae or hairs and old world does not. Old world Tarantulas have medically significant venom, meaning it can cause nerve damage and pain in the bite site for 2 to 6 months. It should not kill you unless you have a serious allergy. New world tarantulas have non medically significant venom and can cause pain on an average of up to 6 weeks.

Texas Horned Lizard

The Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is one of about 14 North American species of spikey-bodied reptiles called horned lizards. P. cornutum ranges from Colorado and Kansas to northern Mexico (in the Sonoran desert), and from southeastern Arizona to Texas. Also, isolated, introduced populations are found in the Carolinas, Georgia, and northern Florida. Texas horned lizards may also be native to Louisiana and Arkansas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texashornedlizard
