So I was thinking of getting a Nhandu chromatus (Brazilian White Striped Birdeater)
The seller says it's 1"+, so I was reading on here, to keep it in a 32oz. deli cup, which I can get 24 of them from Amazon Prime.
I'm also familar with the container store, and other places to get containers.
Did a little research, and found some care sheets.
Temperature : 78°F - 82°F Day, 68-72°F Night
Humidity : 70-80% Most of the year, 60% Dry Season.
Feeding : Crickets 2-4 times a week.
Does that sound right? What other feeders do you recommend? If not crickets.
My main concern.. How do I heat the enclosure?
Do I use ceramic IR heating bulbs, or heating mat?
Also, in order to keep the tempature, I would probably use a thermostat.
It get's cold up here, and with winter right around the corner, it seems I might have to look into learning how to keep the tempature reasonable.
