Girl, 9, catches pet bug by keeping 122 ‘cute' tarantulas in her two-bed house
A GIRL of nine has caught the pet bug by keeping 122 tarantulas in her two-bed house. Isla Wheatley, who got her first spider at six, said: 'They're just too cute to resist. I want people to know spiders aren't harmful.' 5 5 Mum Megan, 33, of Rotherham, South Yorks, said: "I don't have the heart to tell her to stop. A lot of people say, 'how do you do it?' "But I see how much passion she has for it. Why would I stop that? "She sees something we don't. It's amazing how she speaks to them. "Yes, I'm terrified of them escaping. We had a Huntsman spider jump out of its enclosure last month and I had a panic attack. "But Isla's enjoyment and happiness trumps my fear. "When you see children that happy, how could you not support it?" Fascinated Isla said: "They're not here to hurt anyone, they're not here to harm. "You have to love the unloved. That's why I like them." Megan added: "She was just turning six when she got her first one. We did all hope it was a phase but four years is a long time. "Since then Isla's helped me come to terms with it. I do think education is key to help a fear and I think that's what Isla tries to get across on social media. Skin-crawling moment more than 140 tarantulas found hidden in CHESS SET by customs officers "It is scary being in a house with over a hundred tarantulas but I feel as a parent, you have to support your children. "When you ask most kids what they want they'll say sweets or a toy. Isla says she wants a tarantula." Tarantulas can cost from "£3 to over £100" depending on age, size and species. Some females can live to over 20 years. 5 5 5

Resident in Thailand releases 2 snakes in hissy fit over neighbour's noisy dog
An annoyed resident living in a condominium block in Thailand with a no-pets policy has come up with a twisted solution to counter a dog's incessant barking in a neighbour's unit: releasing two snakes along a corridor. Sharing a video of the two snakes – one black and another brown – slithering at the corridor in a group chat with other neighbours, the resident said it was his way of protesting against the violation of the policy. The other residents living in the building the Ratchada area of Bangkok have in turned posted the video on their social media channels. Addressing his neighbours, the snake owner said he loved animals and was responding to his neighbour's claim of also being an animal-lover, according to The Bangkok Post newspaper. 'Today I brought two. Tomorrow I'll bring more. I could not carry the bigger one today,' he said. He did not identify the breed of his snakes but online users who saw his video said they were an expensive breed of pet snakes, the Thaiger news website reported. Play Some residents at the building were quoted by local media as saying many people secretly kept dogs, cats, birds and other animals in their units despite the no-pets policy. The neighbour with the dog had been keeping it for two years, and the building management had ignored multiple noise complaints over the dog, according to the residents.
