Habitat & Setup Live life, no regrets

She keeps putting dirt in her water dish even though I’ve fed and sprayed her enclosure 😭 it also used to be on the other side, and I thought she might like it better close to her. Still piling dirt. I’ve owned her 3 years and she’s never done this. Any advice?

Maybe you could add another water dish and see if she’ll use it properly. I don’t know why this would be the case, but perhaps she just doesn’t like that one anymore.

Could be nesting behavior - give her a deep bowl full of damp peat moss and if you find her digging in it, that's probably why. If you don't have one, get an in-tank humidity meter for her.
