[QUOTE="katiekatelyn, post: 31667, member: 2931"] I posted this a few days ago on someone's thread (about their T playing in a water dish), and reading people's opinions I added my own and I felt like I had a good point, but no one has replied to it and I really am curious about what people think: It seems like a lot of people have different ideas about the proper care of tarantulas. I know they all come from different places and have different needs, but has anyone stopped to consider that maybe the proper care should be based more on what the climate is like for where these tarantulas actually are, as opposed to where they were discovered? Am I making sense? For example, I live in Massachusetts in a city nearly surrounded by the ocean. It gets really muggy during the summer and really dry during the winter. Wouldn't I then have to figure out whether or not my pets need extra humidity or less misting based on the weather here? So wouldn't advice like get rid of your water dish or take out the heat lamp or mist it every few days be slightly inaccurate and thus possibly put my tarantula in danger or being improperly cared for? If that's the case, it doesn't matter if a g.rosea came from an arid desert. If my apartment is muggy, I can take the water dish away. If it is dry, and cold, I add the water dish and add an alternate heat source. [/QUOTE]
