Room temperature confusion

[Christian Del Rosario]

Hey guys I am planning to put my tarantula in my room which is air conditioned to be cold. Is it ok to put my sling inside my room?

If it's at least 60F or 18C in there even with the AC, your spider will be fine. If you're cold, they are probably cold. If you can live with the temperature, so can they.

Temps in the range of 65-85 would be ideal. They can tolerate slightly cooler/warmer temps for some time, but its not good for extended periods.

Do you know the actual temperature?

Room temperature is relative. I've had some slings die from being kept at 16°C because that's what I'm comfortable in. As long as it's above 20°C during the day you should be good for any species.

I wouldn’t keep slings lower than high 60s.
Slings are gonna be more sensitive to low temps

70 is good, five up five down is an ok shift.

Thank you guys so much. I was really stressed out where to put my slings hehe.

20C

Anything between 18°C and 30°C is fine

I have to use supplemental heat as my room often goes into the 50’s. A space heater is not practical as the room is 500 ft with vaulted ceilings. That being said my T’s all seem happy and healthy. I do monitor temperatures a couple of times a day just to be on the safe side.
