Heat fans be careful as the fans have the tendency to stop working but the heater remains causing the plastic to melt and can burn down your house bud!! As to pannel heaters they are good but just to push heat up a little during winter . Remember heat mats on one side of the glass works best as this allows thermal regulation and the tarantula can move to where it feels comfortable, but if u have one ambient temperature hearing the while room that will result as stress and the arboreal cannot go too a cooler area in vivarium. Terrestrial dig and the deeper the peat and moist it becomes cool for them but not for arboreal .</blockquote>
