Most of us are suffering the same way, I only bought my 1st T to help me over my fear of spiders and now have 101 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. In answer to your serious question, my little OBT has done exactly the same thing. The substrate acts as a wick, drawing the water out. I tried moving thw water bowl to the far corner but the monkey has webbed right up to it and now the web is sucking the water out. The moisture down its burrow doesn't seem to affect it and I just leave it to dry out a bit before filling the bowl again.An OBT will generally keep everything down its burrow including moults and every so often they have a clean out and throw a bundle out for you to retrieve. They will also use bits of their moults to decorate both inside and outside of their burrows.</blockquote>
