[QUOTE="VanessaS, post: 76895, member: 4948"] Brachypelma are a very hardy, and forgiving, species when it comes to their care. They do not require an environment that is high maintenance. I have seen the range for their temperature start at 50 degrees on the low end, which is probably the night time temperature, and go as high at 85 degrees. That is a huge range and I am guessing that your home temperatures are probably smack dab in the middle of that on a steady basis... which they will do just fine in. Since Rudy is a male, it is beneficial for him to be kept at a bit lower temperatures than a female because that will extend his life to some degree. It makes their growth a bit slower and he will reach maturity later. Keeping him a bit cooler means that he'll be around longer. Feeding him a little less than the norm for a female will also slow his maturing down. He definitely doesn't need a heating pad. It is very common for people to want to give their tarantulas the very best and ensure that they are happy and healthy, but often that requires less rather than more. The Brachypelmas are one of those species where less is often just what makes them thrive. You'll do fine and you're in the right place to become an expert in no time. Rudy is a gorgeous little guy.
