Just a bit of friendly advice!
I will consider that. I just find it curious still that she will force her way under it (I do tend to make sure there isn't substrate under the bowl at least).
The bowl is often completely full when she decides to be under it.. I wonder if part of her enjoys the feeling of the pressure over her :P If the bowl is low or empty she doesn't do it. I am Thinking it will be less of a problem soon if I can finish getting her new enclosure planned out. It will be using her current enclosure completely as a water source for her to play in.
