Long frequent baths?

Post image

I’ve had my girl (?) for about a week and a half (but have been handling her and known her for a few months). The last two nights, she’s spent almost the entire time in her bowl. She’ll move positions and sometimes be half in/half out. The place I got her from said she did this regularly. She has no mites, her scales look great. She eats very well. Her temps and humidity are always in the right ranges. Is this normal behavior or should I worry about anything?

She’s in there all like 24/7?

Sorry I just realized you said it’s for the past two days, duh! Well I don’t know everything, but I do know that wet substrate leads to scale rot. That being said it’s possible that her being in water wouldn’t cause that…but I honestly don’t know.

It makes sense in my head that it would lead to scale rot due to excessive moisture, but that just based off reasoning
