If we look at tarantulas in the wild, the terrestrials have hides that can give them a lot of protection from bright lights. Tarantulas that tend to be more arboreal types usually will have nests that give them less protection unless they can fully utilize tree leaves, dirty webs, etc.
On my tarantulas I am very careful to never turn on the main lighting in the room. I have red lighting and red flashlights for night use in feeding, maintenance, etc. Thus my tarantulas currently only get dim natural lighting through blinds on the windows during the day.
Once my slings become adults I don't think my one room will handle all of the enclosures. How is everybody handing this? Do you worry about room lights for your arboreal T's? About half of my T's are Avic's, Tapi's, and Psalms'. I am thinking about how I could shield them in my den, but I don't want to shield them from air flow too.
