    I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what

    That is not a burrow that is just a hide a burrow is where you’re spider burrows into the dirt that’s where it gets its name burrow from you have less than an inch of substrate in there so this = no burrow

    A. Maurus heating

    My question is do S. Maurus have to be kept in the 80’sF how do they fare in the low 70s high 60s. The reason I’m asking is my house drops to between 69 and 73 through the night depending on the weather outside so have to know whether to get an extra heat source for this species Thanks Andy

    Heat strips and plastic enclosures

    When normal temp during the winter here is less than 10c normal room temp isn’t ideal as it would cost a bit much heating someone’s property rather than a small heater heating a single room

    Enclosure

    Can you post pics of you’re current setup and what Tarantula species you have these would help Also yes they tanks can be used but by replacing the mesh lid with a sheet of acrylic or polycarbonate with holes in it as you’re T can get it’s tarsal claws stuck in the mesh, but we have to know...

    Heat strips and plastic enclosures

    Heat strips should never be used under an enclosure. You can get small space heaters from loads of places try Argos or even eBay. If the heat strip must be used you should have a cupboard with the heat strip attached to the inside on the back and put the whole enclosure inside that cupboard it’s...

    Idea...

    Sounds easy but putting this into practice in reality is another story, yes you can do this with shipping containers, but doing this with an actual enclosure where they think home is is never going to work even if you’re pet hole does come out as soon as you disturb it it’s going to run back in...

    Caring for my first T

    Fill the tank at least half way with substrate that’s too much height. Yes you can sun dry it but don’t put you’re T outside in the enclosure in the sun as this will cook you’re T. Just do not add any water to the substrate it will dry out eventually if it’s not soaked if it is soaked better off...
