[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 162439, member: 29302"] That's great. Full disclosure, I don't keep Avics yet but because I will be getting one and I know they can be tricky to keep, I've put a lot of research into their needs, probably more than the tarantulas I actually do keep! In answer to your question, Avics will drink from dishes or water dribbled on the sides of the enclosure or on their webs (I know it hasn't constructed one yet). You can do both to give it a couple of drinking options. If you mist just do a fine spray on one side, for a build up of a small handful of droplets, as the actual enclosure itself shouldn't become misted and humid. Can't tell from your pic, but if your substrate is the blocks you add water too, it's probably still too damp for its liking. When it drys out, it'll come down to hunt. If it is bone dry however - it will eventually come down to the substrate when it feels more secure in its new environment. I'd leave it another day and put a cricket in there overnight. It won't be in danger from the cricket because it can climb up if it's not hungry. If it doesn't take it remove it in the morning then try again after another couple days. There's members on here who've kept Avics forever, so they can chime in to add to or correct any of that [/QUOTE]
