[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 163571, member: 29302"] Don't worry. If it gets thirsty it will come out. they do seal themselves in to moult, but also for other reasons (eg after a good feed and no longer hungry, when placed in a new enclosure) as it makes them feel more secure. They can stay sealed in like this for weeks, sometimes months. Don't disturb it, just make sure you keep the water bowl full and you can overflow it slightly. If you are really worried, then you can drip a few drops of water (3 or 4) on the webbing at the entrance where it can pool up in a miniature puddle. You could even get a smaller temporary water bowl and place it by the hide entrance, but those measures are more so that you can feel less worried, as your tarantula would be fine just with its normal waterdish.
