This young lady came down today for a rare visit to the watering hole. Im guessing she's gearing up for pre molt.

This is probably the first time I saw my girl drink. Normally, when her feet touch the water, she's like: "Ewwww! That's wet!"

My little B. emilia molted on the 2/1...caught her practically swimming in her water dish just a few minutes ago. She must be really thirsty.

I saw my tarantula drinking water for the first time and it was way more entertaining than watching the Super Bowl. I was like a proud father watching his son grow up

There's an entire thread dedicated to our cute drinking Ts: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/may-i-buy-you-a-drink.160933/page-19

I love when I catch them drinking.

At least someone agrees with me about the opinion on the Superbowl.

I've never seen my chalcodes in his water dish like these photos, lol!

I thought I caught him drinking, but maybe he was just being hanging out! I also notice there are difference sizes of water dishes. I sometimes wonder if mine if large enough (Its the smallest size of those half moon dishes from the reptile section at pet stores) but it's always full when I change the water, so guess they don't drink that often.

Also, this is a odd (probably newbie question) but I know their vision isn't the best. With food they sense vibrations / movements, but water is different. Do they just find their water sources by accident & roaming around their enclosure?

It sure seems like it, though they may eventually learn where things are in their enclosures.
