[QUOTE="Malcspring, post: 224097, member: 41265"] Hi Konstantin, Thanks for your reply. My spider is a young juvenile. It has yet to eat. I have just dropped a locust in front of it and it was backing away. It is also clinging onto the area of it's vivarium where the heat mat is which tells me it is trying to get warm? The temp inside is in the region of 22 degrees. The heat mat that I am using is the one that I bought to suit the tank that I got when I originally bought the spider. 3 weeks ago. Since then I have upgraded the enclosure, so it has more space. I have a thermostat controlling the mat, but with it on full it is struggling to get any higher than 22-23 degrees, so I've ordered a larger heat mat which will cover the back wall of the enclosure and hopefully I'll be able to get a little more heat which will be more controllable too. Also are heat mats multi directional or do they need fitting to the tank in a certain way in order to get the heat radiating in a certain direction imo? Thanks for any advice [/QUOTE]
