Who is your thirstiest T?

[CommanderBacon]

My B boehmei has been drumming frantically again, so I'd say she's my thirstiest by far.

The T that started the question... My b emilia. Her name is Slo.

All of mine drink- they are in AA.

So meetings aren't really working for them, huh?

Gbb's and avics seem to track down droplets. My oldest female avic avic will even come down to the dish sometimes.

Clearly this one is on the owner who provides the drink. Viper you are clearly an enabler.

I live close to a large lake and when I take out my spiders for a walk twice a week, we usually stop by there for a drink.

Here is Archimedes, my 5" G. rosea female (name was given before I found it it was a she). This was the first (and only) time I've seen her drink...

Arachnids Anonymous, right?

I'm more towards about how they are kept in their enclosures than the species itself be the thirstiest.

Keep a tropical species dry and you will see them drinking, keep them moist and you won't see them drinking so often.

The only time I saw mine drinking (chewing/squeezing the moss) was with the enclosures dry, or when I decreased the moisture of them.

I also noticed that the geniculata has te ability to keep moisture under them, condensing droplets under their bodies, like the fine morning dew. I wouldn't be surprised if they can drink that dew by capilarity.

Enabling fun!

I've only ever seen two of mine drink from a bowl, my GBB and N chromatus juveniles. The GBB more so, as it will go straight to the dish as soon as I have filled it up.

I think they lie to me to get out of their boxes!

From the picture, it looks like the tarantula is trying to hide in its water cup more than it trying to drink so it may not be as thirsty as you think. Tarantulas follow the rule of kitty which states "if I fits, I sits."
