I lost.
I get it... just back away and leave your water dish alone. Sheesh.

The little beastie firecracker has a couple of water dishes in there now. She keeps moving them to the back of her hide... the very back. I think she is sort of challenging me to try and get them back out. Little does she know I am way too chicken. :p

I just keep adding them. I give one to my porteri just to give her something to do to keep busy. She usually has five or six buried deeply somewhere. She spreads the glass beads around and buries those too :)

My larger B. albo just takes the colored gravel out and spreads it around. He's back under the sub in premolt again and has everything buried now

So, I left it a couple of days without giving her water and, lo and behold, one of the water dishes was brought out of the hide and put back where it started. I filled it with fresh water for her.
Smart little firecracker she is!

That's just too funny. I have an Lp that we used to fight with over the water dish. We gave her a ping-pong ball to play with now she doesn't attack her dish anymore when we take it to clean it out. Still won't give up her molts easily though.
