We but the front of her head in her water but we don’t know if she is drinking. How large your T? Got it from a pet store, unknown age and sex. If these instances are severe enough, the spider will have difficulty maintaining the pressure required to keep its legs outstretched, and its limbs will start curling in underneath it.
