[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 200162, member: 36911"] As for the fan in front, I would say in most cases it is not needed and likely not wanted. Regular airflow should be fine. And it has been my experience that tarantulas don't like a lot breezy air going past them. I consider cross ventilation as having air holes across from each other in the enclosure, although some of my acrylic enclosures also have holes in the top. I have tried increasing air flow and cooling by putting an air purifier about two feet below and away from my T enclosure. My Ts did not like it and have all built a wall to block the air. I have my T enclosures in a homemade wooden case with just the front open, although I am considering sliding glass/acrylic doors for the future. If I do that I may have to look at air flow again.
