Do I need a water dish for my cobalt blue

[Joe williams]

I see alot of people who keep ts that say that a water bowl isn't nessasary for some tarantulas like my blue cobalt and that a misting will be enough as they we readily drunk form droplets on there webs ect is this true ?

Water dishes aren't just for drinking purposes, they are also used as humidity sources. I would definitely include one with a moisture loving species such as H.lividum.

Not to mention if u miss a day of misting or something the spider still has a water source.

Yes, use a water dish.

 

[Denny Dee]

Absolutely

 

[MassExodus]

Agreed with all of this.

 

[Tomoran]

Yes, definitely give it a dish. And I would add that, with a moisture-loving species like the H. lividum, just misting might not be enough to keep the moisture levels up for it. Unless you really soak stuff with the sprayer, the water you mist will evaporate rather quickly and won't sink too far into the substrate (just in case this is how you're keeping your's moist!).

Yep water dish is a must just like punctuation in forum posts to get your point across easier or your question answered faster or you get posts like this that make your eyes bleed and our brain throb and make people tend to skip over them as they're harder to read and understand but that could just be me

 

[Scoolman]

Be nice.

we must remember we get people from all walks of life, and all over the world. We are a tarantula forum, not an english 101 forum.
No harm, no foul. No worries
