1. Sorry for the crappy quality, but I rarely get to see my H. Lividum out of her burrow, let alone drinking. She's quite the party pooper hanging out in her little hole all day long.
2. I know its not a tarantula, and it may or may not even be drinking the water on its mouthparts. But the fact that its an arachnid and it may POSSIBLY be drinking, I though it derserved to be up here. Its Oprah the emp by the way.

Got her home & the poor thing drank for 30 min...

Funny because when I told the girl at the pet store that tarantulas don't drink from water packs, she informed me that "Oh, ours do!" :wall:

It is about time that we snagged another drinking picture. This is one of our P. irmina, newly rehoused and having its first ever encounter with a water dish.




Thank you to all that have added pictures! :D

This is Cocoa, my Chaco - thirsty after a re-housing ... what re-housing had to do with it I don't know (I mean, it's not like he didn't have access to the well before before the rehousing), but it's the first time I've seen Cocoa drink, let alone this heartily - look how he splays his pedipalps to get a better angle at the H2O (this is evident in other photos on this thread too) ...

See, Pet-store-employee-that-was-directed-here-by-that-person-complaining-about-your-setups, Even the mexican red knee that "lives in the desert" drinks from the water dish!
