[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 164267, member: 29302"] Please remove the heat pad immediately and forget about getting the bigger one. As you're from California I'm sure normal room temperature (anywhere from high sixties to high seventies f) will be absolutely fine for your t. The reason heat pads aren't good for tarantulas is that they can dehydrate them to death. Unfortunately, tarantulas tend to gravitate towards heat and aren't able to move away from it. By the time they realise they should move away, physically they can't. So they cook. I wouldn't worry about measuring the temp of the enclosure as your thermometer may not be accurate. If you are comfortable in your room in a t-shirt then your t will be too. Hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
