Hi, still kind of new to all this and have a question, I had to move my enclosures to a different room because as spring and summer arrive the room they are in can get really really warm (i had them in there because it is the warmest room in the winter, I live in Alberta) so I moved them to my main floor which is kind of open concept will they be okay there or will it be to open and busy for them? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

open concept? What do you mean? Just out of sunlight is good.

What is the actual temps of the really warm room? As long as there not in direct sunlight and it doesn't spend all day above 30°c (86°f) they will be great, even getting to that temperature as a peak in the day will be fine as long as there not in direct sunlight.
A Tarantula will survive if kept at our room temps which are usually around 18°c (65°f) but they will thrive being kept with a heat source. So before moving I'd check out.
1. What temperature does the room get to at it's warmest point of the day.
2. Are they in direct sunlight or can they be moved out of the sunlight.
3. Rehouse that Albiceps(assuming it's an Albiceps with that golden carapace), that's a major fall risk for that little guy, you want no more than 1.5x the Tarantulas diagonal leg span in height from surface of the substrate to the ceiling of the enclosure.
4. Post some pics of what you have in the 2nd enclosure as you're setup on the Albiceps is off.

When you say 'too open and busy for them', do you mean this is your main living room? If so, then mine are in the living room and are absolutely fine.

So busy as far as human traffic goes, is not a concern at all! I have all my tarantulas in my living room and this room also has drafts occasionally. They are all perfectly content as far as I am aware.
