May I Buy You a Drink?

Here's the one from today of my Devarna, my Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola pulchripes) , drinking from her new dish.

I carry my camera (a Canon digital) with me everywhere. I turn off all the sounds, and shoot pix all day long! I've been known to shoot up to 300 in a day at a horse event, and up to 50 or more of the tarantulas... Not all come out, but occasionally, I'll get a fabulous one. In the second photos, if you look closely, you can see her mouthpatch (red) in the water. She's on a shelf, so I shot it from below.

My collection

I JUST now noticed this thread.
I love catching my tarantula's drinking.

The first pic is of Ladyslipper myAvic. Sp.

The second and third are my other one who was sold to me as a stripe knee. (A. Seemanni) Which I've yet to confirm but I don't really care. I just love them both as is.

Thank you for adding your pictures to our collection!

I thought I would give the thread a bump, for any newcomers that haven't seen it and might have pics to add.

Jeeze it looks like some of these T's REALLY get into their drink! I am wondering if the placement of the water dish has anything to do with whether or not the drink from their dish?I haven't seen my smithi, vagans, genic, pulchripes, of avic take a sip.

I am no expert but I have a few T's I have yet to see one drink, but I have to refill my Avics water dish every other day where as my rosie's water (in the exact same dish and similar sized T's) lasts at least a week. So obviously its getting drank otherwise you would assume they would evaporate at the same rate.

I think... they are just very sneeky sir.

I noticed my vagans' water vanished every night while it was building it's tunnel, but after that it stayed the same level. I think it was wetting substrate to make it more secure because there was always some in the empty water dish lol

So I was hoping to catch my P. irminia feeding again (her takedowns are always awesome), and it seems she wanted to do some wining before dining.

As luck would have it, she grabbed it a few seconds after I stopped filming.:wall:
