[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 180895, member: 1090"] Thats not too cold. :) No external heat source is needed. Tarantulas actually do better in cool temps. The warmer they get, the more they can dehydrate. Also, cooler temps slow their metabolism. They grow slower and possibly live longer. :) I wouldn't worry about 71°f. :) Perfect temp. Room temp is PERFECT for all tarantula species EXCEPT for Megaphobema species (they need to be kept cooler at about 60-65°f and do not do too well in warmer temps). [/QUOTE]
