[QUOTE="TheJuicyFruit, post: 49895, member: 3275"] Ditch the lamp for sure it's not safe for T's as stated by chubbs (Who can be a d*ck but is right here), and unless your house gets much below 68 for a long period of time, I wouldn't use a heating mat either (Especially not with a plastic terrarium), because they may burrow down and get burned by it, but if you do, you'll have to have it controlled by a thermostat for the safety of the T. Also the common name "Rose Hair" isn't the same as the "Chilean Copper" The T in my avatar is a Phrixotrichus Scrofa (One of the common names is Chilean Copper), while the "Rose hair" or "Chilean Rose" is generally given to many of the Grammostola genus, particularly Rosea or Porteri. Their care is much the same, but Grammostolas get much larger, so it may help to be sure, a picture would help, if it isn't too small to tell. If it is a G Rosea, don't expect it to eat any time soon, they're notorious for their ability to not eat. It'll eat when it's hungry, just don't leave crickets in overnight, because if he molts, the cricket may actually kill him in his most vulnerable state. [/QUOTE]
