Most creatures in this collection are tarantulas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cMy whole life I have been interested in weirder animals, especially tarantulas when I was little. My mum has a terrifying fear of them so I could just never keep them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo fast forward until 2020 &#8211; maybe October time. I thought I had Covid-19, so I locked myself away to keep away from my family and I just binged YouTube. I watched loads of videos about tarantulas, and I thought actually this is something I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiona believes she has spent thousands of pounds on her pets and their upkeep. Tarantulas can range in price from just \u00a33 to over \u00a3700.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"775\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2-290x300.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2-293x303.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2-290x300.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/Image-2-293x303.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><strong>Saranya the Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens<\/strong><br>Photo by  Fiona Evans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_spare_room_\/\">@the_spare_room_<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think the most I have spent on one tarantula is \u00a3100, but that\u2019s not even that much in the grand scheme of things,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"592\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248.png 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248-293x231.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248.png 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/IMG_0248-293x231.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><strong> Tofu the Western Hognose snake <\/strong><br>Photo by Lauren Haughey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In connecting with people online, Fiona hopes to educate the public on tarantulas and reshape the perception that they are aggressive and scary animals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Fiona has hundreds of dangerously venomous tarantulas and bugs, she has never been bitten or harmed by any of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI genuinely believe that unless you have had a really traumatic experience with any animal, a lot of the fear is based around lack of education. But that\u2019s not to patronise at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI used to be terrified of snakes, but the more people I have met who kept them have helped me dispel that fear. I now own a snake because they\u2019re such amazing animals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiona also claims that many online videos showing tarantulas to be angry have often been set up cruelly to provoke them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI\u2019m not ever going to be the type of content creator that will rile their animals up so that you can see their venom and things like that. You really have to push an animal to get that response.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRecently, I saw a tarantula being poked with a stick online &#8211; of course it was defending itself. But, to people who don\u2019t know what is happening to that animal and the set-up it was in, they think it\u2019s scary and cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut, when you\u2019re in the hobby, you know you\u2019re looking at an abused animal that is stressed and scared. It breaks my heart &#8211; you wouldn\u2019t hit a dog online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople think that tarantulas are aggressive and dangerous but they\u2019re none of those things if they\u2019re kept correctly. They just want to be left alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In her mission to raise awareness of this, Fiona claims that she has become one of the biggest &#8220;spider accounts&#8221; in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within her growing community she has made numerous online friends with similar passions. Fiona is now planning to meet up with them for the first time when Covid-19 restrictions ease in the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow
