Message: <blockquote data-quote="HungryGhost" data-source="post: 28384" data-attributes="member: 2661">My G. pulchripes seems to empty her water dish out on occasion, I've never seen her do it but I know my water bowl doesn't leak so she must be splashing it out at night. She hasn't done it in a long time. Once every few weeks I overflow the water bowl when I fill it so there is a moist area in the enclosure. Get rid of the heat lamp, it could kill your tarantula by drying it out and they don't like direct light. What are the temps in your home? They shouldn't need additional heat but if you want to the best way is a small heat pad under a portion of the enclosure.</blockquote>
