heat tape....

[osmbr]

Ok, well i guess i will use proper sentence structure when i post a thread here. i wasnt trying to come across as an idiot i was trying to ask a quik question. But it makes sense and i will try to communicate better with this board, and hopefully get my point across better.

On the other hand, thank you all for your educated responses, and i hope i learn more here.

sorry.... MAJOR HI-JACK

but everyone always says that its difficult to read the posts with no punctuation.
but i have no problem reading them.

and when they say it shows that you lack intelligence cause you don't use periods....I THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE THE UNINTELLIGENT ONES........OHHH MY GOD WHERE IS THE PERIOD???? WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO STOP READING??

if you guys really have problems reading something because it has no puncation...then i think you guys are the ones that need some help.

and OT
what maitre said about the heat tape is your best bet...mount it on the back of the shelves and keep the enclosures a few inches away

Oh the irony.

Why would you do that to a rosie? They like it bone dry.

[maitre]

I personally use a space heater but I haven't gotten around to picking up a humidifier yet. I just mist the cages a little more often and my T's seem okay.

The only UTHs that I use are for my ball python and my feeders.

and thats my point... not everyone on here is a scientist...or even cares to be.
not everyone can spell..or know where to put a period or a comma.
maybe you should teach an AB class on spelling and punctuation

thanks for spell checking for me. as i have no more space on my computer for that app.
do you have an e-mail that i can send my posts to for you to proof read them? as i would hate to look silly and spell a word wrong again.

thanks for the help
its much appreciated

And that's the problem, sweetheart.

You are one person. There are many others who have difficulty.

Yes, I'm sure other people can understand the posts just fine as they are. That's not my point. My point is you are trying to compare one person to many.

Maybe they should just PM all their questions and concerns to you?

Regardless, you can't deny that a post with bad grammar, spelling, and sentence structure does not leave a good impression with respect to the poster's intelligence level.

Wow, this became heated. I didn't want to "STIR" things up here, sorr!! i didn't realize that not putting in ".&," would start something like this. Can we just talk about our T's and not go back and forth on puncuation?

thanks moose.

Well I am not trying to make my "G. Rosea" enclosure humid, i know they like it "bone dry". When i said to make the enclosure more humid i meant for my avic. The heat tape was for trying to make my rosies tank more heated, but my house is pretty warm 75-85. I wouldn't do that to my rosies.

[maitre]

If your house is 75-85 (wow!!), then you need no extra heating. Rosies are fine at those temps.. seriously though, are parts of your house really 85F? That's really, really hot.

Instead of using heat to evaporate water to create moisture in the air, I think you're better off just misting the tank more often. Remember to provide adequate ventilation as stagnant air can lead to problems.

[osmbr]

well, my room is the hottest room in the house, i think due to the fact i have a bearded dragon and his tank is hot and it makes my room hot my t's are on a shelf above his tank heat rises thats why i put them there. my room is seriously like 80 degrees. most of the time i have my window open and its still hot. i honestly do not know why other than my beardies tank

[maitre]

I really don't think you need heat tape. 80 degrees is quite ideal for most species of tarantula. I keep my reptile room at around 78-82F but my P. Rufilata commune stays in my bedroom (~72-74F) because they're a montane species that doesn't require such high temps.

[xhexdx]

Nah, if your house were anywhere between 70-85 throughout the year, you really don't have to worry about extra heat with most species.

I use a oil heater and keep my room 73+ with a humidifier(gets really dry during winter it works out nicely) , if you can stand it just get one! I dont like putting things on the bottom of my tanks it makes me nervous ;l
