sounds very dramatic, I know. But apparently we had the pure luck to go out tarantula hunting in a snowy place - and we happened to find some specimens under rocks, covered in snow. This was just something I had on my bucket list for soooo long - and it finally worked out pretty well :)

And everybody says "they can't tolerate the cold"

And people think they need heating..
My Phlogius sp. "Pygmy rainforest" sling is a tropical species and is perfectly fine with being 4 degrees Celsius cold and 40 degrees Celsius hot, they're way tougher than we give them credit for
