Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stan Schultz" data-source="post: 185090" data-attributes="member: 28438">For some unfathomable reason this thread just magically appeared in my e-mail inbox today...only about two months late. But I thought it interesting and important enough to respond for the sake of others with the same apparent misconceptions, searching for more information and help.Unless you're keeping some of the very few tarantulas that are sensitive to a low humidity, its consideration is only important to pet shops that are trying to extract every last penny that they can from your wallet by selling you junk you don't need, like a thermometer or humidity gauge. See <a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/Humidity.html" target="_blank">Relative Humidity</a> and <a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/Misting.html" target="_blank">Misty-Eyed Misting for</a> probably much more information than you ever thought you'd need.And, when keeping tarantulas, temperature is almost irrelevant. See <a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/Temperature.html" target="_blank">Temperature</a><a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/Temperature.html" target="_blank"> for</a> an extended discussion of that topic.In fact, I would strongly recommend that you visit the <a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/spiders.html" target="_blank">Spiders, Calgary webpage</a> and start scanning the links for topics of interest to you. Trust Uncle Stan, in the long run it'll save you a lot of money and a lot of dead tarantulas!Stan Schultz</blockquote>
