Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hamburglar" data-source="post: 43233" data-attributes="member: 3702"><p>Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I just got my first tarantula today. It's a Chilean rose. I have it in a 5 gallon tank in my room and I was wondering if it would bother my tarantula if I keep my desk lamp on at night. It's just a 30 watt incandescent bulb coming from the other side of the room so it's not like it puts out a ton of light. I know T's like the dark and they need to know when it's daytime and when it's night time so I don't want to screw that up by having my lamp on. Now that it's dark my T has wandered out of it's burrow and seems to be exploring its new home. Do you guys keep your T's in a room that has a light on at night?</p></blockquote><p></p>
