[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 125950, member: 26980"] That sounds good. I keep mine at about 80 as an average with about 75 on the cold side and 83 on the hot side for my scorp and Klugi. The rest are at 80 it close to it. My P striata likes here at about 82 to 83. I just heat the right rear corner of her cage to that. She'll walk away from anywhere hotter. Most of the rest of mine gravitate to the 80 degree zone with a high degree of precision. I found out something interesting. When I pointed my digital thermometer at my L Klugi, get abdomen and carapace registered as 76 degrees even though she was exactly in the 80 degree area of the cage. The thing is that the spider had to be a certain size for that to work reliably. Have you put your hand on the roof of the enclosure directly under the lamp yet? You don't want a hot spot that is hotter then your forehead. (One hand on forehead, other on roof of enclosure under lamp) [/QUOTE]
