Hello everyone!
So I want to get into this hobby and the tarantula that I have my eye on is the B. Vagans. I have a couple concerns about getting a tarantula though. (By the way, I have done research, but I want to confirm it because I know people on this forum are very experienced and knowledgeable.)
My first worry is the temperature. The thermostat reads that right now the house is 72 fahrenheit, but A) winter is coming and B) the room I'm planning on keeping my tarantula in has a large window in it, so it's usually colder than 72 fahrenheit, and with winter coming, it could be in the mid to low 60s. I know that there a several options to heat the room up for the T, such as a space heater, but the thing about that is that I live with my parents and wouldn't a space heater raise the utility bill?
Anyways, thanks for reading through this post and I apologize if this was stupid or had an obvious answer.
EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I think I'm going to get a small space heater just so it's easier for me to monitor the temperature
