Just a thought, do you think he could be in the water dish because he's finding his environment a bit too dry?

From my experience they can be underwater for a long time. They usually surface for air every 10 minutes or so, but can hold it a lot longer.
If he's in a water dish then its pretty shallow right? So for him to surface for air it should just require him sticking his head up? Cause that's pretty easy. I wouldn't worry about it, if he wants to surface he will.
Like chinadog said, it is a bit odd that he would just sit in his water bowl? Could you post a pic of the entire setup? That would help.

The setup looks good to me. Its alright that its small, he's not that big.
He turns pale! OK, that is odd, and not normal. I have no idea why that would happen unless he has lost blood. Keep a close eye on him.
What are you feeding currently? And is he eating it? -Seth
