maybe it was too hot.
it should be about the temperature of the water in the water bowl inside the enclosure. BPs are cold blooded, and liquid water can transport a lot of temperature in a short time, so water that feels warm to us might feel frighteningly hot for a BP.
try water at slightly above room temperature next time. generally BPs dont mind water, they are good at swimming and diving, but when the water feels warm to your touch, it will be much too hot for a BP.
good luck, tell us if it works with a colder temperature
