Ok so this might be a silly question.

Other than heating a room for your T's, what is the best way to heat an enclosure.

I use heatpads on the side of my enclosure. But that does not seem to cut it for it gets COLD in middelburg. My MM Lasiodora parahybana encolosure sees 17degC some mornings.

Any input would be welcome

Do you have a cabinet or a shelve that your spiders are on?

Your heat pads will still be warm on cold morning, the spiders will go sit against it to keep warm.
It is fine your temps can drop below 10 degrees and your spiders will be fine.

It just seems like my T wants more heat.

I placed a heat globe outside the enclosure and my T stayed in front of it the whole night. I will place a bigger heat pad on the outside of the enclosure today with a cardbord bakking. That should help

The only truly silly questions are the ones you don't ask. Besides, silly questions are a lot easier to deal with than silly mistakes!
