so i recently got a h.incei gold form and i've been watching some videos of it just for fun you know,and i realized that none of them have any decorations or water dishes in their enclosure,its just 100% web. I've seen people who have a p.murinus leave it empty too. so should i put a water dish in or do they drink from their web or something?

It's often hard to find a water bowl in a heavy webbers enclosure but I still give them one. Some, I've found will leave a hole in the web above the bowl, almost as if the know you need to fill it, others just bury it. I just dribble a little water onto the web if I can't get at the bowl.

That's right. They can make the most amazing tunnel runs for themselves.

It's likely your water dish will just disappear under webbing, rendering it pointless. Just keep them moist enough and they'll be fine.
