[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 132326, member: 27883"] For many years all my tarantulas have been kept in my reptile room where the temp seldom drops below 80 and gets into the low 90s on hot summer days. I raised about a dozen Grammostola and Brachypelma at those temps and none of them ever fasted, except the normal amount during pre or post molt, and they all grew to maturity reasonably fast. I fed a steady but varied diet of roaches. My two male G. pulchra lived the normal lifespan of 5-6 years, and the big female is 10 years old and going strong. Eating like a pig after her molt. I gave all the other ones away, so I don't know if my higher temps had any long term effects on them. [/QUOTE]
