I was watching this dude on YouTube who keeps tortoises and he said he doesn’t have a water bowl in his enclosure but he soaks his torts for about an hour or two every day. Would they become dehydrated or would they be fine? I think they were full grown Russians by the way. Just curious.

I think he's got the right idea. My experience with russians is they avoid a waterer like the plague. So soaking's a good thing.

I think it can be done that way. No chance of dehydration with an hour or two of soaking every day. Not how I like to do it, but I can't say it won't work.
