I read that everyone gets their tort to soak for 20-30 min and my baby tort only likes to stay in there for 5-10 min tops and he’s so restless just to get out even when the water is still warm
This is the first I have read about using cold water. Can you elaborate please?Also...don't warm the water...if it comes out of the tap too cold...let it sit to room temp. Lotsa 'mistakes' in their care that need to be rectified. Still working on the updated care sheet! Shouldn't be too much longer! Honestly, cold water is best...as long as they're in the sun!

I guess because I'm in a warmer climate...I'm not sympathetic to those keeping tortoises in areas that aren't condusive to their proper care. Under no circumstances should sulcata be housed under heat lamps or ceramic heat emitters. Those that get away with it...good for you! But it's not a good idea! Even if it's cold out...if there's sun...put them out for an hour! Even if it's cloudy put them out for a bit...diffused natural UV is better than artificial UV any day of the weekThis is the first I have read about using cold water. Can you elaborate please?
