Auratum enclosure

[Seamus]

Hi guys
I am receiving a female brachypelma auratum tomorrow and was just wondering if they are kept in general the same as the red knee
Been reading some care sheets and some are saying they need a heat mat
Is this necessary
Cheers

No heat mat needed. Keep them the same as all Brachypelma. Dry substrate, water dish and a hide. Room temperature is perfect for a them.

Cheers I thought as much . I always read up on the species I get first to get a good idea on housing them but get different opinions

Take online guidance with a MASSIVE pinch of salt. You did the best thing by asking real people with experience on here. Nothing to add to what has already been said as it is spot on. Congrats on the new addition.
