They still need humidity and heat requirements because if I were to let my tarantula go outside for the winter he would definitely die. I’ve heard that 25 watt bulbs only produce 70 degrees of heat. And if I put the heat bulb away from the tarantula not directly on it it should be fine right? Not to mention I will have a thermometer in the cage anyways so that if it gets to hot I can turn it off. During the day my room probably isn’t too cold but at night it gets to about 55 60 degrees in my room. If me a big warm blooded mammal gets cold then my Tarantula definitely will right?</blockquote>
