Hey folks.

I've got a 3-4cm B.vagans that really seems to hate it's water dish. I saw the other day the whole tank was wet, but assumed it was part of the remodelling it had done to its tunnel.

I filled the bottle cap which I use for water about 30 mins ago, only to discover that now all that water has be 'splashed' all over the tank. This concerns me, mainly because there is no more dry peat in the tank due to this behavior.

Are some Ts like this? Or is mine possibly doing this for other reasons?

Thanks

did you literally see the spider splashinh the water out? or are you assuming thats how it happens?

mmm strange. coz mine did the same.... when I placed a yellow bottle cap in the tank it actually tipped :silly: the cap over and then covered the cap with peat... B. vagans... they are such characters :woohoo:. It might be that they don't like the colour of the cap :blink:

Admittedly no. And I did type 'splashed' in inverted commas. So it's my assumption right now. No peat in the cap, but also no water. It wasn't tipped, I gathered that much.

I am actually more worried about the amount of moisture in the tank now.

Then just rehouse it

Leave the bottlecap out and just make sure one of the enclosure's corners are wet.

And add a live plant

Hey! are there any strands of webbing that goes into the dish?
the webbing can soak up the water and distrobut it to the soil in minnuts!
