Anyone else's tegu do things like this?

He knocks over his bowl almost every day. What i use for a water bowl is a long short-ish sterilite tub, and when it's got water in it it's definitely heavier than he is.. Yet the little bulldozer still manages to knock it over. On the plus side, it makes it easy to keep the humidity up because the mulch soaks up the water. But, on the negative side, if he tips his bowl over then he doesn't have much to drink or soak in until i go back up to see him and fill it up again.

He also manages to knock over the lamps that are sitting on the top OUTSIDE of his enclosure. Somehow he's jumping up high enough(i've never seen him jump like that when i've been around.. it would have to be about two feet straight up) and hitting the top with enough force to knock them over. I secured them to the top with some metal clip things and they keep them from falling over.. but he still moves them a little bit. I don't know why he wants to jump at the heat lamps... but he can get pretty hyper sometimes.

He just likes to knock over anything he can, i guess.
