[QUOTE="Derbarbarian, post: 217770, member: 39124"] Hi Guys, I had a couple of questions in regards to heating my Goliath's enclosure, I just received my first Theraphosa blondi, I've had a couple of Tarantula's in the past and I've always wanted a Goliath Bird Eater so I decided to finally pull the trigger and get one. I currently have her setup in a 20 Gallon Long tank with about 4-5" of substrate. Now that summer is ending and it's going to start getting colder here in the Seattle area I'm wondering what the best method of heating is since my house gets pretty cold during the winter. I was still living with my folks when I had my last tarantula's and they kept their house pretty warm during the winter so I never really had to worry about heating pads/lamps. I've heard good and bad things about the heating pads, so I'm just wondering if it's best to use overhead heating lamps or if there's a solid brand of heating pads I can use? My only concern with the heating pad is the amount of substrate that I have, I'm not sure how well it would work. Any advice/Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dieter [/QUOTE]
