The 3rd : I had forgotten : I soak my fred everyday, but every time I go to put water on him, he absolutely hates it. And then to boot he seems like he is mad at me???

Some will get used to the baths in a while.

Well like I said he loves to soak now. Does any of your tortoises fall asleep when they soak??

Not mine, he is a wild caught Russian and they rarely fully relax when soaking 
But I think @Tom says that if you soak tortoises from hatchling they learn to really like it.

Sound like you have to keep an constant eye on him. If he always lays down in the bath maybe you should lower the water level.

Yeah I usually stay in there with him, and I don't put as much water. I get his food ready while he's soaking so sometimes I'm not in there with him.
Thank You

Maybe you can put a flat pebble in the water - sometimes they figure out how to use it as a pillow.

Good idea, didn't think of that. Why would he fall asleep? Do you know

It must be relaxing and he feels safe enough to do so.
