Just make sure you soak him often enough.

This is normal.
The other possibilities include you not finding his other poops, especially if he's outside in a big space or that he's eating them.
A very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and Sir Prince.

I wish Lola would poop in his water, he has only ever done that once in 2 years!
Just make sure you change the water after he does it.
Some people have 2 baths ready, and when torts poop in the water, there is clean water ready and waiting to pop him into while the mess is disposed of in the other.
