Here goes, probably an easy one.
I don't know if this one can be Googled; I picked it up in a mid-50' magazine article.
Mickey Mouse' first appearance was in a cartoon short called Steamboat Willie. Later, when the character was named, another name was considered. Walt Disney overruled his wife's preferance in selecting the name "Mickey". Q. What was the origional name considered?

Right. This resourceful Brit, who grew up in Kenya, Has quiet a career in renting and training and
handling various animals for the film industry. Snakes are another of his resources.
In the film where I first ran across that billing, there is a scene where Holly Hunter almost absent-mindedly swats and squashes a spider that is crawling on her leg. Then she wipes away
a gooshy mess, and the event is never mentioned.. Then the end credits, where I first saw that term. And at the very end of "the song at the end", the vocalist announces that "No spiders or
cheerleaders were killed in the making of this film!"
All this happened in The Positively True Adventures Of The Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.
Next up.

Correct, not that title. But (giving away everything here), the spider wrangler on the movie I have in mind did the same job for Psycho.

Art Garfunkle.

Additional Info on the "Spider Wrangler" credit:
1. The movie is based on an actual event -- it made headlines when it happened, and, in fact, another movie was based on the same true story.
2. The movie has a lot of fun with the facts, and with itself. A female vocalist sings a song behind the closing credits about the tradition of "having a song at the end."
3. The spider wrangler has done similar jobs with for other productions -- some with titles that most movie fans would recognize.

This question doesnn't have "legs", so I'll close it out.
1988's Memories Of Me stars Alan King as Abe Polan, a man who has made a living for decades as a crowd-scene extra in Hollywood. Getting re-acquainted with his adult son (heart
surgeon Billy Crystal), he boasts that he invented the phrase "hummala hummala hummala" for use when a crowd -- court room, congregation, lynch mob -- needed to make a subdued rustle to
punctuate what the stars of the scene were saying.
Also, he has selected his own epitaph: "Here lies Abe Polan, King of the Extras. 19th man to yell I'm Spartacus."
