[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 174680, member: 30996"] Hi in regards of the water dish being soiled( poop ,dirt) its something normal.You just need to change it or clean it as needed .Some of mine do that too. in regards of it being empty ish is possible to have been drained by string of silk or even bits of substrate sitting on the rim.Something else to look for. With super worms crush the head as it will burrow otherwise.Drop it near but not on top of the T and can leave it for 24 hours.Some tarantulas are shy and will eat when noone is around or during the night. Is your substrate dry or moist.This species can be kept dry with waterdish but will appreciate some moisture in the part of the substrate. If your tarantula is sitting on the water dish it may be that she may look for moisture if the enclosure is dry.In that case you can pour water(make it rain dont mist its doung nothing apart of annoying the tarantula as it moists only the top layer and it evaporates very quick) over 1/3 of the enclosure so substrate is moist all the way to bottom layers.It may take a while till it soaks trough so put water and wait a bit then repeat so you dont flood the enclosure.Once its done it will takes weeks or months till you have to do it again. If your substrate is wet let the half dry out. Hope that helps. Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
