As a sling you would want it a little damp until a 1" or so. This only aids in molting frequently while a sling. Heat may help a little but mid 70s is plenty. The thing is everyone talks about adding heat and power feeding...it makes them grow faster. It actually will stress the hell out of you. "Whys my T not eating for 3 months now?" Your T can only grow so fast...period. if you jump up the temps and power feed it will only fast and not eat until its growth cycle catches up. Low and slow is the best way. If you want a big spider just shell out the cash and dont wait...you'll still enjoy it for years and years.</p></blockquote><p></p>
