I bought my 1st T last fall, a Lampropelma violaceopes - Singapore blue and loved him/her so much I recently bought a 2nd sling, an Acanthoscurria geniculata - Brazilian white knee.
I have each T in enclosures from Jamie's and tho each spider seems to be thriving, I worry about the temp in my townhouse being too cold for them. And I know artificial heat sources is often frowned upon. The temperature in my home averages 70°. Is this too cold for my T's? Ive moved them upstairs, where it stays a bit warmer, and have increased the temp by a few degrees but I still worry. I'm sure it's warmer than that in Singapore and Brazil.
The Lampropelma is around 9 months old. He/she stays inside the burrow with tunnel webbing. I rarely see it! The Acanthoscurria seems to just be getting used to his enclosure. I've only had him about a week.
Id love to hear back with anyone who can provide me with more detailed information about each of my slings, tips tricks or anything else you think might be beneficial. I am a first time tarantula owner and very much in love with the hobby and my new babies.
