P. miranda, I've never seen a T....

[InvertFix]

I have never, in all my years in the hobby, seen a tarantula drink from a water dish! I'm sure it happens all the time but I just thought it was cool to see my female P. miranda stooping down to drink.

I'm sorry if this isn't anything anyone is interested in.

Oh that would be cool to see! She was drinking as you were filling the dish ?

My P. Miranda female pictured above is about ten inches and it was just neat to see her stooping down to the dish.

Very very cool! Thanks for sharing. They look beautiful no matter what they're doing. Never seen a T poo though... And now that I think of it I'm not sure if I want to.

First time I've seen it, too! Thanks for posting.

You're all very welcome!

@Sage: Get an avicularia. You'll see them poo! Though they may be projecting it at you!

clearly you dont watch your Ts enough to see em drink.. lol im sure the whole time you kept Ts they drank from the dish when either you weren't around or sleeping
Ts are just active at night time.
Ive witnessed a lotta Ts .. drinking I kept Ts for 7 years..very entertaining
I more often then not see Terrestrials laying in the water dish cuz they find it comfy... silly Ts

Oh I know it happens
The only time they have to do it is while I'm at work or upstairs for a short time. I'm ALWAYS with them. Im active at night too lol I like to sleep during the day and be up all night.

Yeah my T. blondi is always laying in her water dish. Same with several other terrestrials I have, glad to know its not just mine.

I have, it was a curly hair and it poo'd right on me.

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing them!

I have seen quite a few of my critters drinking from their dishes, but the best show I ever have is watching my MM N. chromatus groom itself. This guy has been a clean freak since he was a juvie. He washes everything he canreach starting with his mouth and fangs. The longest "bath" I have witnessed from him is 45 minutes. He also treats me with a "Happy Dance" when I toss him a nice fat cricket. I am sure going to miss this guy!

My Rosie drinks from her dish quite a lot.

I got a very anxious text from my boyfriend a few months back.."Vicki! Help! Phone asap, I think your tarantala just tried to drown herself, I've moved her but phone!"

She was just takin a bloody drink!
