I personally have never had any success at getting a T to take water from a q tip I will just drip water directly on there mouth. I think the mistake has been in the species you have. If they sold that as mexican Red rump (Tliltocatl Vagans) they do prefer a bit of moisture in there enclosure, but it is a Mexican golden red rump (Brachypelma Albiceps) they prefer it on the drier side of things. So by mislabeling a T it puts you at a disadvantage, as you will be searching up the wrong care.</p></blockquote><p></p>
