They like moisture and cooler temps than most spiders, according to Rick West. Room temp is fine. I once killed a male with a heat mat <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> I found out they didn't need hotter temps, took the heat mat off, and the next morning my moist enclosure had condensation dripping off the walls. I drowned him. Then, years later I killed about twenty of mine doing cage maintenance with flee killer on my hands..including an adult male and two adult female stirmis. Don't be a MassExodus. Thats my tip <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Good luck, they are fantastic spiders, and have a presence that most others don't. They're stridulations are cool as hell.</p></blockquote><p></p>
