Socratic Monologue
I agree with all Rich's troubleshooting ideas, and will add that it could be that the snake has chosen the water bowl as a hide over the few others provided.

If there's not a really good range of hides (different temps, different sizes, some plastic and some natural materials) adding some would give some more hints as to what the snake is up to. I like cork bark (both flats and rounds) since they give really random choices rather than a simple smoothsided rectangle.

Posting some photos of the enclosure might allow experienced eyes to see something relevant, as would giving a short history of the snake (age, when did you get it, from what sort of source, etc)
