I am a first time tarantula owner and I have a beautiful curlyhair who is about 2 years old (I got her at 4 months). Tonight I saw her water dish was empty (the air has been so dry here) and I wanted to make sure to give her some water before I went to bed. When I opened the door to the tank, she ran right over to the dish.
Since she’s skittish, I figured if I got near the dish she would just run under her log like usual, so I got out a tube so I could fill the dish. She lunged at it like she would lunge at a cricket, and I was so startled that I yanked it away without thinking.
Could this have injured her? What should I look out for?
