[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 162675, member: 27444"] Lights produce heat and increase dehydration. For a spider that already prefers to be arid this isn't good. To use the light to work on or maintain the enclosure is fine. Some types of bulbs can also deteriorate a spiders already bad eyesight. Tarantulas hate light so it's just a vanity thing for us keepers. It's better to use a light a short distance from the enclosure or LED strip lights on a back wall. This gives a greater distance from the enclosure. Most enclosures lights are just way too close and hot. [/QUOTE]
