Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 121867" data-attributes="member: 3458">The best way to keep your Ts warm is a room heater.Your divided vivarium doesn't work for 2 reasons:-1) A Pokie needs height rather than ground area, it is arboreal after all.2) A B. hamorii  is a ground dweller and must have only 1-1.5 times its leg span above the substrate so if it falls it isn't able to fall far and injure itself, a bad fall can kill a T.You need to keep them in completely different style containers as one is arboreal and the other terrestrial. My P. met is in an 8"x8"x12" while my ground dwellers are in, or will go into when big enough, acrylic containers 11”x6.5”x4” then into 12"x10"x10"Have a look at the containers on here <a href="http://spidershop.pl/product-category/terrariums/?lang=en" target="_blank">http://spidershop.pl/product-category/terrariums/?lang=en</a>, they're cheap, great design and couriered to your door direct from Poland at the weekends.</blockquote>
