urgent advice needed

[lee smith]

hi,

my chile rose is acting really strangely and im not sure what to do. she keeps sitting her whole lower self in her water dish with her feet on the outside of the dish.

the dish is circular, 6.5cm diameter, 5mm deep and 2mm deep in the middle.

im not sure if shes comming up to a moult and trying to soften her skin or just being weird.

thanks in advance

It might be she is just thirsty?

A lot of my spiders will sit in their water dish, some seem to be waiting for it to be filled up, others just seem to be takin a bath. Never lost a spider yet in this sort of situation so don't overly panic.

Any chance of a image so we can see what is going on perhaps we can comment better then.

Cheers
Mark

thanks for the advice, i can stop worrying a bit now. i will try to find my digicam and get a pic next time she does it, she has been drinking loads over the last few days. ive just did a temp and humidity test in the viv as well, its at 60% humidity and 24.5*c.
