For my snake viv, the UTH is connected to a thermostat, so I can monitor and control the temp. If it gets above a certain temp, the UTH will be shut off. I also use a separate digital thermometer to be sure the thermometer on the on the thermostat is working properly. Has anyone tried this for their tarantulas? Would that still be considered dangerous? I don't want to cook the spider or the snake! I wonder if I could come up with something better, just for night time. We try to keep it pretty warm in here, but these Wisconsin winters can get pretty brutal, and at times, it can get as low as 69 degrees.</p></blockquote><p></p>
