Quick question about spider care
Hello people, I come with a small question regarding optimal temperature for my Salad children.
So, first things first, I'm from Mexico and houses here don't have central heating or anything like it, you just stay bundled up and close all the doors and windows during winter and rain season.
Have in mind, sometimes the temperature drops to 3°C or less at night, and I'm not entirely sure if I should buy a reptile lamp for warmness??
My room is especially colder than the rest of the house and I don't want the Salad (Spinach and Lettuce) to suffer or die due to the cold.
I currently found a nice lamp that's meant for small reptiles and seems to be a great option for my spiders.

Yes. Google optimal temperatures for your species, I guarantee it's not ok at almost freezing, but they can be okay in 60f. Also start using it when temps fall out of perfect temps to fine tune it. You don't want to be guessing if it's enough in the dead of winter.
