nbsp Should I place my tarantula in an area that gets direct sunlight?
  No, most tarantulas dislike sunlight and will hide from it. The Avicularia genus is quite susceptible to direct sunlight; even an hour directly exposed can kill them. Tarantulas dont have any way to internally control their body temperature so they physically move to another location to cool or warm themselves. If they are contained in some type of housing in direct sunlight it leaves them nowhere cooler to move to.
