[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 204331, member: 29323"] Too much heat too close to the enclosure can be a problem. So be aware, tarantulas burrow to escape warmth. Thus, NEVER EVER put a heating pad under an enclosure. Also be aware that the temperature in full sun for the tarantulas natural environment may be very high. But in a burrow or the shade temperature can be very different. For example if I looked at the weather in Arizona. If I applied the natural environment marker, as some do for animals, tarantulas etc. Then I might reasonably conclude that humans from Arizona need those high temperatures to survive, despite the fact that humans can & do die in direct sun there. Tarantulas are the same, they may survive in hot weather conditions, but they don't need those temperatures to survive. [/QUOTE]
