Here is the scientific name - Mexican redrump tarantula, Brachypelma vagans. Here is a pic. He is a sub-adult. About 2 years old. I am going to take your advice and unplug the heater. Perhaps that is why my Blue Cobalt died...from dehydration. Perhaps I am making this harder than it needs to be. Thanks for your advice. I will let you know how Rudy is doing.</blockquote>
