2 inch female g.pulchra

[SuleymanC]

I have 2 inch g.pulchra and im planning to put 1 inch length water dish with 1/4 inch height. Is there possibility for her to drown in water?

No, I have never heard of a tarantula drowning

Tarantulas actually have hydrophobic setae... meaning that they float.

Yup.

Yup.

Should I fill full 1/4 inch height with water or just half of it?

you could build a lake around your enclosure and be fine.

I keep my herd of G. pulchra on cocoa fiber with a hide and a medium repti-rock water dish. I always overfill the bowl so that that corner of the enclosure stays damp, and I find that they tend to hang out in that corner about once a week or so. Below is a link that will show you the environment they come from, let me know if you have any specific questions.

UPDATE : Guys remember my female pulchra had bad molt with red legs? She recovered it this morning! Her legs are now jet black again! She is healthy once again
