If you can't heat the room maybe your not ready for a Tarantula. All other forms of heating can and will fail...sometimes in the death of pet or fire. A heat bulb will kill your Avicularia without a doubt. Where is your spider supposed to escape the heat? Avics don't burrow. Tarantulas don't really care for heat...they hide during the heat of the day and hunt in the cool nights. 65-70 degrees is perfect for Avicularia.</blockquote>
