transporting tarantula in low temperature

[zxneon]

How low temperature tarantulas can take safely in short time (bout 1 hour) ?
How low can be dangerous?
I need to transport B.albiceps , L.Polycuspulatus ,T.Ockerti and L.klugi. to my home . about 1 h trip .
Temperature will be close to 12c . will that be safe ?

Honestly, it probably won't be 12c where you and the tarantulas are right? They aren't traveling in the open air, they'll be inside some sort of motor vehicle?

Typically if you're comfortable on the trip then they should be comfortable too. Especially for just an hour. But I've never transported tarantulas in cold temperatures so I'd definitely get a second opinion.

They should be fine for an hour

When I moved in January I put the enclosures in a box with Tshirts for insulation so they wouldn't be explosed to the cold. I would suggest doing that.

I wouldn't feel comfortable exposing them to temperatures that low for any amount of time. I would pack them with some kind of heat pack or hot water bottle. Just make sure it's not too hot either.

One hour at 12° C should not be an issue at all. If you´re worried, just pack them well

i plan to put them in dslr bag and put some insulating foam film with heat reflecting silver foil. but still i`m not sure . Or i can call taxi . ( thats expensive)
