I usually see at least one of my tarantulas drinking if I look around 0300, most often they drink at night so you'll often not see them drinking.

same here!

one thing i love about waking up in the middle of the night randomly to get a drink/use the restroom is when i come back, ill flick on my blacklight and check on the T's and they are almost always, 9/10 times, doing something spiders do. i woke up once to find my B. albopilosum upside down on the roof of her enclosure, with dirt in her pedi's. webbing the top and hanging some dirt.
woke up, to find her taking that same dirt down.

she literally decorated to then take it all down.
spiders being spiders at night.

I love watching them at night, I set up some red lights so that I can watch them do their nocturnal spider things.

I've been thinking of getting some red lights for the same purpose. i have a mini portable black light so i use that. as it does not seem to disturb them like the normal incandesants/leds in the room do.
