water dishes?

[trantula_vixxen_420]

So I've had my T for a few moths now and I'm unsure if I need to add a small water bottle cap maybe? My T is only about 2 inches. However I've been having to mist almost daily and my T seems super thirsty when I do mist..

...I would add a water dish, but larger than a cap...

any suggestions as to how big? the ones at the store were a little to big for my T's enclosure.. maybe I need to rehouse?

Mine are 3” wide and 2” deep. For
Small spiders I add rock...

For a 2" spider a bottle cap will be fine or a sauce pot from a fast food delivery generally works well. Don't worry about adding anything to the dish either. Ts float and some species are actually very good swimmers. Just nice clean water is all they need

I use coffee jar lids for my Ts.

...so many different choices!

I use the caps from regular water bottles for spiders up to two or three inches. As they grow I switch to the wide bottle caps from Gatorade type bottles. For larger adult spiders, I use the plastic lids from peanut butter or mayonnaise jars.
