My rosea is sitting by it's water dish with one of her legs over the side just barely touching the water surface. Do they actually absorb water with their feet as well as just taking a drink? She's not dehydrated, her abdomen is still plump (even though she hasn't eaten in at least 6 months!) A week ago I saw her drinking from her dish, shortly after that she's been poopin a lot more, at least 1 spider spot a week since she loaded up on water.

They do not soak water threw there feet, she sounds like she is just relaxing, just make sure her water dish is clean and full...
