[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 126641, member: 26980"] My L Klugi was purchased last year and was about 2". Now she's about 5 inches and I've had to rehouse her once from a 3 gallon enclosure to a 5 gallon one. I set the temps at 80 to average, hot side being about 83 and the cold side is 74 to 76 degrees. She parks herself where the temps are 80 right on the nose. Still, be careful with heat!! No hot spots. I use a point and shoot thermometer to literally go over every inch and every object in the cage BEFORE placing the spider inside!! Heat is a very controversial subject and with good reason, but if you never go over 90 anywhere in the enclosure, inside or outside you'll be just fine. My place is kept at 68 to 70 degrees because my ex girlfriend/roommate has fibromyalgia which means she can't stand it hotter. Of course, never add a heat source underneath the spider. I'd post a how to video on this but I don't want to kick the hornet's nest!! [ATTACH=full]28278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]28279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]28280[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
