    no idea but... you want to make sure the water dish has some little stones in it so the spider won't drown!

    you want to very lightly mist the sides of the cage, any perches that you might have for her or any thing really that is in there. but remember lightly. dont mist her and I would put some pebels in her water dish or rocks depending on how big the dish is.

    I have Orchid Spiders and so far they are very alive and well I also have King Kong Jumpers.

    I would love to see a photo of her .

    An appropriately sized water dish will do just fine for drinking.
    Spiders in general do not drink much. They derive the majority of their moisture content from their prey.
