Thanks for your help!
As long as she has easy access(not to tall) to the water I wouldn't worry about dehydration. You always have the option to put her in the water once in awhile.
As far as the mouth thing goes I doubt it's anything to do with aggression or showing dominance. Does she do it all the time or just this one time?
Garters yawn and stretch to make sure everything is in place. Sometimes they can have a lip out of place or have a piece of foreign matter in their mouth. It's not something they do with great frequency.
Keep us posted.
