Is my tarantula healthy?

This is the best photo I could get, but I'm concerned as to whether or not the size of my tliltocatl albopilosus's abdomen is healthy or not. She's a juvenile(?) who's molted once and about 8-10 months old. Also, should I just be misting her tank or should I set something for her to drink water from? (Like a bottle cap or such)

She looks like a normal tarantula to me! :happy: And yes, she needs a small water dish, like a bottle cap. Generally this species likes their substrate to be dry, so putting it in a dish provides them with water while keeping it dry in there.

Normal could be more plump for me

Misting is perfect if you want to kill it

they don’t all use a dish use one!, may need to add water drop wise to webbing, surfaces etc perhaps
