    My Sulcata Tortoise Littlefoot

    He only started self soaking after I put the water dish under one of his basking bulbs. Now the bulb heats the water to 36°c. Before it wasn't under the bulb and he just kept walking through it. Maybe try putting a heatlamp over ur water dish aswell :) and thx :)
