I'm not sure you need to supply extra heat for a tarantula...unless your house is EXTREMELY cold....and definitely don't heat from below or you will end up cooking the T as they naturally burrow if they get too warm...
Do a search on this forum for the company name and see what others have said about them....you should also consider buying from private sellers that advertise here. Look in the 'for sale' part. Anyone who has sold before will have ratings and will want to keep them high by making sure you get a...

The enclosure came from here...
