[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 49845, member: 1084"] Not sure why you have a heat lamp for it, but I'd ditch it unless you want a cooked spider. These aren't reptiles. A lot of us who have been in the hobby don't really use common names anymore. I'm guessing this is some species of Grammastola, which are known for fasting a lot. If it's spinning a web on the floor it may be about to molt,b in which case there should be no crickets in there. I personally don't use heat mats, I prefer space heaters for heating. I really hope you're not planning on handling this tarantula or allowing any kids to do so. These aren't animals for handling. Remember to research next time before purchasing the animal. :) NO tarantula should have a heat lamp and with all due respect, any reliable source would have told you this. [/QUOTE]
