Good Lord man! Go to Dunkin Donuts. Ask for an empty (unused) plastic cup and of course the top. Fill halfway with damp, not swampy, substrate. Put the spider in there. Put in a piece of corkbark or something for a hide. Feed weekly. Wait and see what happens. Unless it drops below 65 in your home I wouldn't worry about heat. If it does, maybe keep the cup near your computer (not directly on it) so it can get SOME of the heat that comes off. Goodluck and stop worrying! Take it from me, it wont help the outcome.
My first arachnid was an emperor scorpion. I obsessed about keeping it humid enough and trying to keep it alive. I thought I did everything right. It died during its first molt. Both pedipalps got stuck while he was molting. So, no matter how much you stress about the situation, it probably wont make anything better. Worry is a useless and destructive emotion. What will be will be. Just follow the advice that is given to you and all you can do is wait and see. Good luck!
