It would be lovely. Our room temperature here is around 65-70f. Any tarantulas that would be happy at this temp?
Some T's can survive several degrees below or above what they are supposed to be. Sometimes my gauge says 73 or 84 for my poecilotheria, l. parahybana, c. marshalli, a. avicularia.Mr.Scorpion said:It would be lovely. Our room temperature here is around 65-70f.

That's okay temps for any brachy or grammostola slings, though I tend to prefer the temp be at least 70, they should be okay a little lower than that (70 is mainly the baseline though). Pretty much any juvie or adult T will be okay at 70 with some exceptions (probably T Blondi, and I don't know much about old worlders). I have an A genic juvie that I keep at around 70 - 75 and he's doing just fine, even though most caresheets insist they should be kept at 80 - 85.Mr.Scorpion said:It would be lovely.

I agree completely. I have not provided any additional heat sources for any of my tarantulas. I keep all of mine at room temperature and have never experienced any problems.tony said:I cant think of ANY spider that experiences Difficulty at those temps...
55, maybe, maybe

There are some who like to increase the growth rate of small slings to get them "over the hump" so to say. I am not sure if this has any effect on the overall survival rate or if it reduces the failure to thrive in some slings. However, I doubt it would cause any problems, provided you don't dry them out and desiccate them.WhyTeDraGon said:Good question. I was also wondering if keeping slings in an incubator would be a good idea for growth/survival rate. I have a large incubator/hovabator that im not using (since I quit breeding leopard geckos), and am interested in giving it a shot with slings.
My T's are also kept at room temperature, never below 75F, never above 80F.
