Last week I was wandering around the local pet shop and they had small stainless water bowls on clearance. Nice wide base. Bigger than what I currently have in my young Pewter's setup so I picked a couple up.
This guy has always been very active at night and if there is noise in the room will typically stick his head out from his hide to see what's going on.
Last night we were getting ready for bed and my wife commented that he was out roaming. Maybe 20 minutes later I wandered past his tank to look and almost missed it. Should have taken a photo.
I noticed his water bowl was tipped up a bit. Odd I thought. Until I took a closer look and saw that he had burrowed into the substrate and slithered under the bowl.
It is a stamped bowl so there is a space underneath and he had gotten himself almost all in there. You could see his side on the raised side of the bowl.
When he does it again, as I'm sure he will, I will try and get a photo.
Now I know why the substrate has been wet under the bowl when I give him fresh water. He is spilling.
