Sometimes, a water bowl is in the direct path of where the tarantula is moving substrate. It has to go somewhere if they are burrowing deep. Perhaps your tarantula does not have enough depth for its needs and the water bowl is just in the way. Others have mentionned getting a bigger enclosure and I agree that more depth will most likely bring out the best of your tarantula.
My Brachypelma emilia AF kept filling her water bowl with substrate. However, she was really digging deep and at some point, the susbstrate had to go somewhere. In my case, I just changed the position of the bowl. So far, no substrate in the bowl.
I have some acrylic enclosures… I detest them . I love the visibility… but for air circulation and durability, it does not pass the test for me. Lids were warped after less then 30 days, even in low humidity. Scratched… for the cost, sheesh. I hope yours and the ones others get have a better turn out then mine.
