Ya I know.Dont take it personally,please.Water bowls/dishes are the norm.Im wanting to see the water fairy in South America/Africa/Australia and elsewhere running around in the wild filling the
Gatorade caps that nature provided for water for T,s.:lol:.
T,s in nature drink from dew,and don't have a human suppling the water for them.
If you can provide a water bowl,great.If not,spray the side of the enclosure,until you puddle water in an area of the substate..Then when you rehouse as they grow,provide a waterdish/whatever.
Just be aware,spraying to supply water is a twice weekly affair.A waterdish gives you more time between waterings.
Please be nice everyone.

Adding,im not saying not to supply a water source.It can be done a couple of different ways.

Some of my T's like Selenotypus, that are a more arid zone genus, i always give a dish despite only 1 ever using them. For others i dont give them one, as i spray a pool of water in their thick web sheets that often lasts a day or 2. For slings, i keep a bundle of spagnum moss constantly wet that not only provides necessary soil moisture over time but also a drinking station. It's a valid reccomendation to have one, but not a 100% requirement.

And why the down votes on just my comment when others have said the same thing with nothing.
You gotta get used to it trust me. I gave wrong suggestion and I got loads of down votes.😂😂

Tbh if you can't fit a water dish into the enclosure what you said was a good suggestion or just add moss

Just gave you an up vote to balance things out I guess. You just had a "Welcome to Arachnoboards" moment. :rofl:
