    Tub is mysteriously soaked!???

    Hi there, my BP has been in a tub for 6 months now and she's been fine, but the past two times I've checked on her there has been moisture EVERYWHERE. Dripping down from the lip, her bedding is soaked.....shed in a dry area and she had a UTH with perfect temps. Should I add more holes. Is the moisture coming from her water dish!?

    It's not as simple as "she peed"?

    I posted about how the ceramic water dish had a crack in it, the water would leak out. Check that.

    She peed.
    She dumped her water.
    She climbed into her water bowl and displaced the water.
    Her water bowl is on the heat, so the water is evaporating and condensing down the sides of the tub.

    If she were mine she would have pooped in her water bowl, dumped it, and crawled through it several times.

    Half my smaller snakes periodically flood their tubs by sitting in the water dish. I ended up bumping the worst offenders up to bigger tubs to try and prevent the flooding/provide a dry area until I go to clean them out. My calico pastel has to have his paper changed twice a day because his absolute favorite place to be is inside his water bowl. I've checked him over for mites more times than I can count and nothing. He just seems to really like his water bowl.

    Weirdo.
