Thanks for the link brother. [USER=28745]@AndrewClayton[/USER]

Enclosure is way too big in my opinion. Setups like these do better for well established spiders like juvies and sub adults. The rock in the water dish; it doesn't help at all. The tarantula will not drown if that's what you're worried about. You also do not need to spray like that, as long as you have a proper sized enclosure with adequate ventilation and a water dish.

Try dripping water into its mouth area. If it is dehydrated, it will need this treatment. Have you had pesticides sprayed outside, or any chemicals near the vicinity of the tarantulas enclosure?
