Everyone remembers their first tarantula. The excitement, the research, the frantic late-night Googling. But no matter how much you read, there’s one tiny, crucial thing that new keepers often overlook...
It sounds obvious, right? But when you’re focused on heat mats, feeding schedules, and enclosure decor, the humble water dish gets forgotten — especially for slings or arboreal species.
Not exactly. Misting helps with humidity, but it doesn't always meet internal hydration needs. Tarantulas do drink, and even the tiniest ones benefit from access to a shallow water source.
Hydration helps maintain internal pressure, which is vital for a successful moult. A dehydrated spider can get stuck or lack the strength to complete the process — something no new keeper wants to experience.
If you're new and nervous, MoultMend adds another layer of support. It’s designed to complement good husbandry with added hydration and stress-reducing botanicals.
MoultMend was made by keepers, for keepers — even beginners. Give your spider the best start with our gentle, moult-focused formula.
