[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 160504, member: 26980"] I looked at the specs for it and realized it would work. I use these on all 4 of my pokie cages, which are all 8x8x12. I tested and carefully measured the temps inside and found that it works. The mats warm one section at the back of the cages only. Sometimes they hang out there. Other times they are in the cork bark. The other thing with heating is to always set it up so the T can avoid it if they choose to do so. My condo is usually between 67 to 69 degrees because I can't stand it warmer because I can't sleep. That's just too cool for these tropical creatures. The temps inside of the cages where the mats are is usually about 82 to 84 degrees, with the other places being in the mid to low 70s. The inside of the corkbark is about 70 to 73 degrees. I used a digital infrared thermometer to confirm these prior to introducing the tarantulas. [/QUOTE]
