Now completely confused :(

So I was on petcenterUSA and saw that they recommend the Ts be kept at 80 degrees F. They recommend a microclimate? I thought Ts can be kept at room temp? Now what? My house is air conditioned and I cant heat my room. Does anyone know an easy way to make a micro climate?

If you are comfy, they are comfy, for the most part. My house is between 68-75 degrees year round.

And you have had no problems with that? I was about to panic LOL...I love my 8 legged babies. I am still thinking of making an unheated cabinet with a plexiglass door to lock them in (so I can keep them and my 2 yr old safe)

Here's the Tarantula's First Law of Temperature according to Schultz: "Any temperature at which you are comfortable will suit the tarantula just fine." In other words, room temp is good.

T's and any kind of spider can adapt extremely well to many different climates. Like everyone said if your comfy your T is as well!
