I just turned my walk in closet into a spider room, it's about 9 feet by four and a half feet. The deep end of the closet shares a wall with the front of my apartment, so it's a little chillier towards the back. The closet doors are slatted, shutter folding doors, so air readily passes in an out of the closet.
It gets to be about 60 in my apartment during the winter, and sometimes it's almost 5 to 10 degrees colder in the closet because it shares the outside wall.
I bought a little tiny heater with a fan. It has 3 power settings and a minimum maximum dial. I have been warned, and am very aware of the dangers of putting a heater in a small closet spider room. However, on the lowest setting on the lowest power level I think it should be fine. I've got a nice temp and humidity gauge, & I plan on testing it both during the day and at night for a week before I move in the tarantulas.
My question is, do I place the fan just inside the door of the closet blowing in, or place the fan at the back of the closet blowing out?
