First time witnessing this. I wondered about it. Very interesting.

Very nice. As OBT usually likes it on the dry side, for my two females I keep a small water cup in their enclosures (2 oz deli condiments cup). When they were younger they would always web it up, making it a challenge to retrieve and replace them, but as they grew up they stopped covering them and I get a kick now at watching them taking a dip when thirsty.

Thank you for sharing. I'm on a Hobby Lobby mission to find itsy bitsy water dish for the itsy bitsyb obt. Duely noted it may get webbed. ❤

You can buy plastic condiments cups from amazon by the hundreds:

If you are more earth friendly you can also get those (glass) and wash/reuse them at will:

Happy hunting my friend. Cheers.

For as much as it is a hot button for some, I've caught a few of mine drinking from their cups. It makes me smile every time.

Ended up at plastic store. Under$5 I'm being creative. Yay

And thank you all for sharing your journey as well. Im looking forward to when she (unconfirmed) can use a bottle cap in bigger enclosure. Loving this itsy bitsy OBT

It is not a myth, they do love their water cups!
Here are a few of mine:

My a.chalcodes, Rita Hayworth, threw her cup across her enclosure today. Diva moment.
It was nicely placed in the corner.

Omygoodness. They are all so beautiful and thirsty. Thank you for sharing them and their water dishes.

I have contemplated some sort of communication in their random acts.

When my adult female Avic put that Bola in her water dish, I said, why youre very welcome Wednesday

You all are the best!!

The plastic flower I put in the enclosure had a hollow in the middle. She was webbing at base neglecting the middle. So I was able to fit the water tube down in the middle. It's tall so I could fill easier. Wish us luck.

All spiders will drink from the substrate (they don't have dishes in the wild)
I have a couple spiders myself that only drink from the substrate, Both are baboons.

I'm glad people wised up over the sponge in the water dish thing.
You definately don't find sponges in the wild!
