EG I put 2 tanks ontop of one mat so that at least one half is cooler. The reason I do that is to ensure that there is a minimum temperature as I live in a cold house in a cold country. I know people say that they burrow to get cooler although 21C is cool for a tarantula I suspect. I haven't had an issue before. When I did put it on the side when I had just 1 T the spider would often sit to the side on the tank but more exposed. So this way they can go to wherever is comfortable (in hide, not in hide, warmer half, colder half)</p></blockquote><p></p>
