like overnight suck it dry.

I thought my dish was leaking.
Yesterday sometime was first time I ever noticed his dish being completely empty (I never even let it get close to empty before), so I topped it off.
This morning I noticed it was completely empty again, so I topped it off again.
Few hours later, bowl was below half full, and the moss and bark substrate in that corner was obviously very wet.

when I moved the moss and cleaned out the bark from his bowl , I noticed that moss was soaked and the wet part was slowly traveling away from the dish.

and now the dish is maintaining water like before.


lesson learned.
Oh the things we learn from keeping snakes! TKS for sharing.
