[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 172473, member: 30996"] Hi When I choose water dish size it is based on two factors.Size of the enclosure and how fast evaporates.I tend to go for bigger and deeper as enclosure allows me to reduce top ups frequency. I'd rather not bother the spiders too often if I can help it. In enclosure for my NOT arid species and grown on slings I overflow water dish slightly and in the opposite corner I drip quite a bit of water down the side so top is dry but good chunk of bottom half of the substrate is moist.I remoisten as needed when it is almost completely dry and not on a schedule.Sometimes rotate the moist spots if possible depending where hides( burrows) are located so don't fill them up. Only moisture loving species I have is my Pampho sp Costa that is kept on moist substrate with springtails once 1/3 of the enclosure dries I add more moisture but not going crazy with the water. Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
