There's no need to stop filling the waterdish. If they want a shower, so what?  Just make sure that the water doesn't bounce off the tarantula and gets into the dish.My L klugi thinks everything is food. I just wait for an hour or two and toss in a feeder or two. Basically they're like motion detectors and they simply travel to the epicenter of the impact or vibration.Think about it.  I'm sure that in the wild there are cases of prey items falling into shallow water. A tasty meal is worth harmlessly getting your feet wet. A few Ts like H gigas actually can chase small fish under the water. Most however can't submerge.Hint hint: It rains outside.</blockquote>
