Hello,
I’m sorry if this is a bit long. Thanks for your time.
This is my current setup. I have all terrestrials -Brazilian Pink Bloom Tarantula (Pamphobetus sp. Platyomma), Salmon Pink Birdeater Tarantula (Lasiodora parahybana), Megaphobema robustum (Colombian Giant Redleg Tarantula), Goliath Birdeater Tarantula (Theraphosa blondi), Emerald Skeleton Tarantula (Ephebopus uatuman) and a Regal jumping spider. 2 tarantulas are slings one younger than the other. Tiny
the other 3 tarantulas are between sling and juvenile stage if that makes sense. I have had 2 for about a month and 3 less than a week. None have molted for me yet. They eat well although they are fasting at the moment until their bellies slim down a bit. I keep the under soil moist to keep humidity up. My question is about temperatures. I was told that room temperature was fine but I’m a bit worried about this. My house year round is between 68 -70 degrees F. I think this is to cold for them. I am pre menopausal (I know TMI right?) and will die if the temps are to high in the house but I don’t want them to suffer. I do not want to put heating pads in the shelving unit - or heat lamps as I hear they can dry the little critters 
I was thinking of getting a heating blanket (med dog size) and hanging it on the back of unit. It would have a timer on it so it wouldn’t be on all day/night.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to manage temps for young spiders and an old lady? Thanks again!
On the top I have the 3 smallest 1 is in a vile, the other 2 share a enclosure. There is a non see through barrier in between -no chance of them getting at each other.
The other 2 are a bit bigger so I gave them their own enclosures. Still have a bit of “decorating” to do but they have what they need. Water, a hideout, and a hole to hide in.
None of them are webbing at all, not sure if that’s an age thing or they are cold, they don’t move much cause it’s cold ???
the Goliath never comes out of his/her hide (unless he/she sees prey and never see him near his water dish. That worries me.
Any help with what to do about temps would be great. Thanks
These are my hairy cuties

) and use an electric radiator heater. Naturally I don't leave that on constantly when I'm not home. It has a built in thermostat but I still don't trust it when I'm gone.
