Excellent podcast by Adam Sehy! This episode with Thomas Griffiths is a master class on reptile lighting and absolutely worth listening to. I was honored to get a kind shout‑out from Thomas around the 3:40:00 mark. This podcast should be in any reptile lovers rotation!

People say tarantulas don’t bask. We beg to differ. Big thanks to Marshall Arachnids for the inspiration on our up and coming product ArachniSol, specialized to provide infrared A to invertebrates.
We’ve found many species prefer around 250-300w/m2 power density and WILL utilize at will throughout the day.

Catch us on Marshall Arachnids, Spiders After Sunset where we’ll discuss supplying infrared for Tarantulas! Marshall Arachnids have been testing an up and coming product and was a big inspiration for its inception!

We were on a short hiatus from Spiders After Sunset, but we're so back! 🥳💃

Join us this Sunday, June 15th at 7:00pm CST on YouTube for a live streamed chat with KC O'mongain of Sol Reptile about some new and promising heating products he has in the works, designed specifically for use with tarantulas! ☀️

I think most of our followers know by now how we feel about tarantulas and heat, but we're going to do a short recap of how temperature regulation relates back to natural history, how to apply heating products SAFELY, and all of that good stuff for any folks still confused or inexperienced with the subject in the context of using heating elements 💜
