Should my water dish be next to my Tarantula hide or just stay in the corner?

Currently I have it in the corner (I don't overflow the water dish, I manually make another corner wet.) Should I move the water dish closer to it's hide? I guess I'm just concerned it isn't finding the water. I never see it leave its hide, but I know it's eating the pre-killed crickets I leave in its home.

I move water bowls around every couple of weeks. This allows the area under a water bowl to dry out. And it also means that following each bowl move, I have two moist areas.

And for me, having a water bowl close to a hide is fine. But some T's do not like moist substrate under them. So depending upon your T, it may not thank you for doing it.

Some spiders never take to a water dish. If you are concerned, move it close to the T.
