If you have an ambient temperature in your house of 70 degrees your T should be just fine (a Brachypelma). Although it can get hot during the day for these Ts in their natural habitat, it also get much colder at night (when they are usually more active). So they can tolerate a difference of temperature during the day and night although 50 seems to be getting a bit cold and I am concerned on how the temperature gets to this low in a house where people are living.
