Young tortoises need to be kept in water for between 10 and 15 minutes each day. Tortoises will not drink through their mouths very often and a soak allows them to drink more water. As the tortoise grows and bigger, it will require an even bigger enclosure. It is important that the enclosure has a gradient of temperatures – a warm side and a cool side – and that the temperature of the surrounding area is above 20 degrees centigrade. It is recommended to make use of a ceramic dead spot heat emitter or a thermometer connected to a pulse thermostat to ensure that this gradient is maintained.
