Hi there you guys.
Well after reading previous posts and reading Tarantula Literature I got myself a temp. guage and a humidity guage. I have a viv (glass walled). Just checked the readings.
The humidity is in the high 70's (as in percent) The temp is 60 F/height.
I have a heat mat and I know it is warmer as you get to the bottom of the viv, as I have felt the substrate.
even though the temp in the substrate is warmer is the over all 'air' temp ok? Any suggestions? Do I need another heat source? Is my bedroom too cool (this is where I keep my viv)?
Also I put two crickets in last night, I saw that they were gone, but they were hiding under the cork bark! Is this a problem in that my Tarantula may not mind them when he/she is hungry?
Look forward to reading your experience, as they say 'I can't, we can'
Thanks, Andrew
