Newbie here. First T, Nhandu Carapoensis, will arrive next week.
It came with habitat recommended by the seller (Jamies Tarantulas), plus decor and moss.
I prefer my house a bit colder in winter and dont like to run the air conditioner in the summer.
Pretty soon it will be warm enough to not be an issue, but for now my house sits at about 62 all the time.
Will this be an issue for my T?
I want to stay away from external heat sources if I can.

65 would be the bare minimum, and I would not keep mine below 70. You can use a oil filled space in the room where you keep your T. and close it off from the rest of your place, if possible.

I keep the winter temp at around 72 degrees. The temp is naturally warmer during the summer.
