[SpiderDane]

Got this one of my A. metallica juvenile sipping some water.

 

[Hobo]

Two more goodies for this thread.
My new B. boehmei, "Fat Mum,"(betcha can't guess how she got that name!) gaining more water weight.

And here's my new P. cancerides, "Fine Dinein' Fadilah!," earning her name.

I don't have any pics but I have seen most all my T."s drink at one time or another. I did not know it was such a rare thing until this thread was started. I guess I have just been lucky. Either that or I spend to much time looking at my critters.

Never been able to get a shot of any of them drinking, closest was a pic I got of my G. pulchripes protecting her water dish, (or something) just standing over it for no reason lol.

Wish I has a shot of it but sometimes I drizzle water down the side of my A. avic's enclosure and he comes over to drink as it runs down. He's like a lil puppy LOL.

Love all of the pics in this thread though, some amazing shots!

Yes guys african species DO drink

2.5" male P. chordatus "Rex". Sorry about the poor quality, it was the only one I was able to get before he moved

 

[Ariel]

thirsy girl

River my P. cambridgei has a habit of burrying her waterdish and the last time (a couple of weeks ago) she'd chase me out of her enclosure if I tried to get it, she finally let me today and she drank from it for like 15 minutes!

I don't feel sorry for her :/ if she was so thirsy she would have let me have it sooner.

Bottoms up!

Cool shots everybody (if a pun can be extracted from that, so be it ...)

Here's my contribution to the catalog. My vagans drinks like a fish - on the sly - but one day I caught him doing the ole "bottoms up" en flagrant delit ...

Um...why didn't you just cup her, dig it up, and fill it? Take about 5 seconds. Not to mention it should be an ego thing that an invert has you buffaloed.

She wouldn't let me, she's one of my most stubborn, worse than my P. murinus. Trust me, if it had been any longer I would have, but she dug it out on her for me to get out and fill, didn't even attack me. (no to mention I just haven't had the chance to do something like that, I've been working all kind of over time and just been insanly busy. :8o )

Not to be a jerk, but, uh...it's not like we're talking about a Brazilian wandering spider (would just take a bit longer to plan and execute in order to avert possible premature death--still quite doable ). Personally, the prospect of getting tagged by a new world T wouldn't phase me.
