Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kurt Nelson" data-source="post: 12567" data-attributes="member: 394">The only heat source you should ever use is a space heater, or warm air humidifier.  Heat pads create hot spots, and tarantulas can't sense the heat and can burn themselves on it.  And like Kenny said, T's hate light. Everyone says Avics need high humidity, this is false.  You can keep them bone dry with a water dish.  They prefer to drink water drops off the side of the enclosure, but they will use their water dishes, I've seen it before.  I do recommend you do mist, however don't go overboard.  You don't have to mist daily.  Once a week is more then ample.  And try not to mist the T, they don't like that. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
