Hi all :).
Ok so I have been doing day night temp drops with my tarantulas. Basically keeping them from 79 -77 day to 74-73 degrees at night. Now I do day night drops with my reptiles. I find they do well with it. I was wondering if anyone else does it with thier T's and how they seem to like it? Just picking y'all brains :)

Hello
I use an air conditioning system,I set my temps to fluctuate between 22-28 degrees Celsius. This has worked well,this has been working for arboreal terrestrial and fossorial species. I think this is needed,not a rule personal preference and I fluctuate lower in the evenings higher during the day.

I figured since they do not really do light the temperature differential would be good idea to give them a day/night cycle. Glad to here some one with more experience is doing this as well.
Thanks!
