He seems to hover over the dish and  and as he is hovering the water level goes down drastically. He has made a web mat over the entirety of the bottom of the 10 gallon tank and made a burrow in one corner where the webbing is thicker. He has done this in less than a day so i am assuming that making the webbing is water intensive but I'm new to owning tarantulas so I don't really know. He seems to be draining the bowl in a couple minutes and goes back to his burrow. He then comes back out after a few minutes and drinks it again. He drained three small dishes(smallest water dish I could buy at the pet store -5 ml maybe?) in 5 minutes and acted like he wanted more yesterday. I'll post pics when I get home from work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
