[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 204314, member: 36911"] Extra heating of tarantulas is one of those topics that gets varying opinions, mostly against it I think. In general tarantulas can be very resilient creatures and in the wild live in some extreme temperatures. But being an overprotective T papa, I do supplement my tarantulas with heat, both in the summer when I have the air conditioner on and so far on nights this fall with temperatures already dipping to about 40 F outside and 66 F inside where the Ts are ( the room heating element is on the other side of the room). I do have their enclosures inside larger ones and use low wattage heating cables or heating pads to warm up a side. The heating pads are on a pane of glass that I place 1-2 inches from the tarantulas. [/QUOTE]
