A REWARD is being offered for a lost tarantula.

A poster was put up in the St James area of Hereford today appealing for the safe return of "fangs".

The laminated note, pinned to a lamppost in Grove Road, is headlined "lost in this location".

And underneath a picture of a trantula, the appeal states: "This is a family pet called "fangs" that was lost and last seen in this area.

"It will seek out a warm and dry place to hide.

"Please contact if seen for a small reward - 07393992473."
