Hi, I am mixed up as to whether or not I should get a heat mat for my pink toed tarantula?
When I first started out with these wonderful creatures I was told to use a heat bulb which I fixed into my tank and have since not used since I heard about the fact that she could become burned or too hot.
The temp at the moment in my tank ranges from 23-27 it is summer here so staying quite warm.
should I buy a heat mat and install? someone said I should and keep it on at all times, someone else said buy one for the winter...someone said place it under the tank...someone said the side:? me is confused!
What would be your opinion? i have just ordered a humidity gauge to keep eye on that, so that should be good, it has a dry section moderate and high so It will be helpful, should I aim for high? or moderate? thanks so much xxx
