Is it okay to soak hatchlings in warm tap water or should the water be distilled or RO?

I use tap water. These guys live a long time even after drinking muck water.

If the tap is safe for you to drink, it is safe for the tortoise. Distilled and RO should not be used in any case, because the tortoises need the minerals.

I second Tom’s comment.
