They all get the same thing,  68-80 degrees( depending on what time of year) and a over flowed water dish once a week on pretty much dry substrate. I dont add artificial heat or worry about humidity...ever. However I do add more moisture to Theraphosa species and a couple others that like it wetter but that's about it. Never lost a T due to temperatures or humidity in almost 40 years...not something to worry about or waste time with unless you live in an extremely cold area of the world. The thing is most care sheets are written about the climate where the Ts species originated from. Most Ts are captive breed no where near where the species originated. Ts can adapt to live anywhere...they are not as delicate as most people think. It's like saying someone from Florida can't live in Alaska...its just silly nonsense.</p></blockquote><p></p>
