if you have the water bowl in the same spot all the time try moving it & put another hide spot there. maybe he fancies that particular spot in the cage. i have had alot of the balls that i have worked with seem to love a good water hide spot. my room is 60% to 70% humidity. at first i thought it might have been a problem but so far no mites, no skin probs or anything. if he is new to your home maybe that's just where he feels most secure. there we days where i thought mine never left the water but i wasn't there all day to monitor if he was or not. I say keep a good eye but don't worry yourself to death unless things seem wrong. also maybe try a tad lighter on the heat maybe he prefers a temp a little cooler than a 92 to 80 degree gradient. try maybe 90 to 78.
