    She did it on purpose!

    I check the snakes every morning to refresh water and clean and this morning I went up to do that and I saw Sadis, my normal female had tipped her water bowl. The paper towels were soaked so I pulled her and my pastel male out (they were not in a lock) and wiped up the tub and gave them fresh paper towels. I go on to fill everyone's water bowl and when I look into Sadis's tub, she had tipped her water bowl again! Is she trying to tell me something? Hahaha. She is my bowl tipper. She tips her water dish at least 3 times a week. Ugh!

    It's easy to make messes if you don't have to clean them! LOL! Some breeder remove water bowls during breeding!

    Re: She did it on purpose!

    Our smaller BP used to do that all the time, and we swore she did it on purpose, too!

    We got one of those gigantic dog dishes at Wal-Mart. It's blue so it adds a neat effect. It works great, now she just goes under it.
