I'm relatively new to the hobby, and have recently become the proud owner of both an h. lividum and a GBB. I've heard both of these species like it on the warmer side, and since the temperature in my apartment this time of year tends to be around 65º, I figure I should give them each a heat source. I've purchased two small heat pads, and plan to affix them to their new tanks (which are on their way from tarantulacages.com) once they arrive. So, my question is: is it safe to stick the heat pads directly on the side of the enclosures? I've heard this is preferable to putting them on the bottom, but I also wouldn't want the Ts to get burned should they decide to crawl around the sides.
Secondly, I was wondering what sorts of hides people tend to use for slings. I also just recently got a 1" a. geniculata, and right now I'm using a small cut-in-half yogurt cup for it. However, being somewhat of an aesthete, I find this ugly and would love to replace it with something more natural-looking. Are there any companies that make really small wood or fake stone hides?
Thanks in advance!
