Heat Pads Have Tarantulas Cooked
Killing Spiders & Calling It Care!
Most tarantula keepers are taught to “keep them warm,” stick a heat pad on the enclosure, or chase temperature numbers like it’s mandatory. In this video, we break down how tarantulas actually handle temperature changes, why ambient room temps are usually the safest option, and why heating enclosures directly is one of the most common mistakes in the hobby.
Tarantulas & Humidity: Why We Overthink It!
Tarantula Humidity Is Being Done Wrong. Most tarantula keepers are taught to focus on humidity numbers, misting schedules, and keeping enclosures “moist.” The problem is that none of that actually tells you whether a tarantula is hydrated.

The BioDudes handcrafted bioactive substrate for Tarantulas, Scorpions, Spiders, Vinegaroons and other invertebrates. Terra Aranea is a one of a kind substrate that was thoroughly tested for over a year prior to it's release in 2019. Terra Aranea substrate is specifically designed for all biomes that can get very dry and arid or in a high humidity biome. This substrate is designed to hold the perfect amount of water while allowing for evaporation, preventing anaerobic bacteria growth, which is a common fight when dealing with inverts and terrariums. Terra Aranea also retains all burrows and hides. I have found this substrate brings out many of the instinctual niches that many different invertebrates do in their daily life. Not only does it hold a burrow, it also holds a complete tunnel when the moisture content is held at 25%-75%.
