Water bowl madness

[EyeLashViper]

:? Okay, my big male Apok seems to want to constantly climb into his water bowl in his enclosure and I was wondering if this is just a quirk of his or is something wrong?? it is highly annoying to me because he splashes water on his substrate and gets it all wet - I have checked him for any exoparasites like mites and he is clean. 8) He is a real pain in the butt sometimes too because he also likes to burrow UNDER his hide box and I have such a time putting his enclosure back together... :shock: sheesh...he really puts me thru a lot and he has the nerve to actually hiss at me sometimes too... :roll:

Sounds like your ball python is just being a ball python! Dont worry if theres no mites than you're fine.......

Yeah that is normal my corns use to hid under the water dish and there hide and a couple of my ball do the same. It is normal

I would suggest maybe getting a heavier water bowl? I had a regular cereal bowl temporarily for one of my younger BPs, and she knocked it over several annoying times. Now I use heavy ceramic dog bowls, and no one can knock those over.
