| Hiding the water source that usually attracts predators. Normal for them I'm sure in the wild. Mine do it all the time. | |

| My female genetic does this also, along with most of my roseas. I have some, like my female C. fasciatum and a couple OBT's who web over it, and then it's hard to get out and clean. | |

| I have a few that do this aswell,
not all the same breed either,
I have 2 l.parahybana out of 4 that do it, 2 b.smithi out 4 that do it,
usually when they have buried the water dish they have trashed the enclosure aswell
I had thought that they may be hunting for food, as they usually feed well after,
but it is more like redecorating......and awkward teens lol | |

| I provide 2 water dishes for my adult female A.Genic Some times she buries 1 but never both. Sometimes I think it just gives the big girl something to do!

| It's a mystery in my part. I think she is just moving her home around. but the humdity thing doesn't seem right. I agree with madamwlf. | |

| My L. parahybana sling (1 1/4") has started filling its water dish as well now. And, my N. chromatus female (3 3/4") not only puts substrate in her dish...but she also poops in it as well. Go figure...lol.  | |
