Watering Tarantulas

a tarantulas water dish

YES your tarantulas do need water and there water dish should be the size of there leg spand so they can hover over there water to drink.Your arboreals need water too perferably up high because they dont go low often.

What happens if the water gets warm because of the enclosures humidity? Does the temperature of the water matter to much?

The water doesn't get warm because of the humidity in the enclosure (which is - by the way - irrelevant), it gets warmer when the overall temps go up. And assuming they won't go up to 150 F, it's nothing you need to worry about.

I would worry more about the humidity you are mentioning... depending on the species you keep.

You should better make your own thread and pose your husbandry related questions there.
