Hi
Im sure he will reply to you at some point but it doesn't really matter.
Many people all over the world keep them bone dry with waterdish and have great results and thriving spiders.I keep mine dry since they were little 1.5cm slings with provided waterdish(I see them drinking regularly)and they are all good .
Also while tarantulas are cood blooded and can't regulate body temperature.They are also easily dehydrated if they are not provided heat in a safe for tarantula way.Their body operates in a way that if they loose too much moisture they wont be able to even move,(Think hydraulics)....
Regards Konstantin
