Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 12990" data-attributes="member: 545">All water dishes should include an elongated rock propped against the dish's side. This is actually for the crickets' benefit, since they have a tendency to fall in and the rock gives them a way to climb out. Tarantulas that are old enough for a water dish will not drown even if they do fall in the water...their waxy bristles keep the water from contacting their skin. They are also very bouyant. So they stay dry and they float!</blockquote>
