Insta Spider: ‘Cute' Tarantula Dresses Up For Tumblr

MEET Pandora, the furry TARANTULA taking social media by storm. Cassandra Tainsh poses her Chilean Rose tarantula in an array of hats and scenes and her one eight-legged pet is simultaneously delighting and frightening followers. The 23-year-old account manager from Leeds then posts pictures of the spider shopping at a supermarket, trying on hats and skateboarding to social media. Unbelievably, just a few years ago Cassie was terrified of spiders and shivered at the sight of the hairy creatures. But now she has nineteen tarantulas that live in tanks around her room – side by side with 23 snakes.
