Dig a hole and lay a rock over the top. Make the entrance just big enough to slide 4 fingers into it. I had to make all the holes lil that because the were fighting over the best hole.
Desert hairy get almost as big as hetrometrus.I was more looking for something that got impressive in size. But thanks for the input.
Can I slide 2 fingers for a tighter hole? Or should the hole be loose? I only have a 1".Dig a hole and lay a rock over the top. Make the entrance just big enough to slide 4 fingers into it. I had to make all the holes lil that because the were fighting over the best hole.
no, they dont. the spiders are drinking water from the prey. ask anybody, water dishes are by far the best option. you have to be very lazy to not have water dishes.I read a couple sources that say centipedes can absorb water. I would assume the same for the Ts since I've been doing this for years with no water bowls. But to be safe I might try a water bowl with the scorpion and see how it reacts, whether or not it uses the open water source.
I doubt centipedes and T's are going months without some sort of water source. I sometimes don't feed any of my animals for months the only thing they get is a spray of water or very damp substrate. And no one is lazy for not having a water dish.. C'mon bro, let's not put people down.no, they dont. the spiders are drinking water from the prey. ask anybody, water dishes are by far the best option. you have to be very lazy to not have water dishes.
then you have some very damp cages. use a dish, or feed more often. heck, make a thread and post some pics.I doubt centipedes and T's are going months without some sort of water source.

I would refer water dishes to people that need more experience keeping invertebrates. Until they fully understand what they are doing. Have a great day, and thank you for the advise.then you have some very damp cages. use a dish, or feed more often. heck, make a thread and post some pics.
what species of tarantula do you have? how big are they? ever lost any?
i see no other reason.
Mine are about the size of mice. You want the opening of the hole to be just a bit wider and just a bit taller than your scorp. Once inside it should be big enough for it to get its tail in a striking position, and be able to turn around. When they get hungry they set their claws at the opening of the den.Can I slide 2 fingers for a tighter hole? Or should the hole be loose? I only have a 1".
I know this has already been discussed, but I bought an Asian forest scorpion about a month ago who was definitely eating very well, but when presented with a water dish for the first time, spent about five whole minutes drinking. The container she was sold in was pretty dry, which may have been a factor, but they definitely use them. Safest thing is to use a water dish.water dish is 100% necessary? or can they absorb there moisture from the substrate? I keep my Ts and pedes with no water dish I just keep the substrate wet, and it seems to do the trick. Let me know.
