Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Lilith" data-source="post: 35555" data-attributes="member: 3365">HI Rick, You can't see me, but I am giving you a standing ovation right now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> The only change I've made is to bite the bullet and raise the ambient temp in my personal environment and replace the 75W IR bulb over the T's tanks with a 40W IR bulb, just so they do get some warmth to combat the unusual cold and at the same time not dry out their environment too much. And I agree, with your review of the "other" board (I'm guessing Arachnoboards?). A lot of the responses were very, very rude and was able to see the differences immediately between that one and this one. More like "home", or at least a group of like minded and tolerant friends who meet at the library once a week or so <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> IF that makes any sense. Well, I thank you again for putting my mind at ease and will keep the conditions as they are. Not sure what to look for if it's too hot or dry for them though. Would you know? Hard to tell with T's, they don't usually stand up and say "Uh, human guardian of mine, I'm not feeling up to par, would you mind turning down the heat or adding some more water for me please and thank you?" <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
