Stan.lee only eats after soaking and poop after 15 mins. Not sure of that or his long sleeping...Right now very tiny tail..so I think female. Thank you for your help...on sleep habits.

Is Stan.lee a baby tortoise? Babies hide most of the time because they are prey. It's normal for them to eat after a soak.

I soak the babies then place them in front of the food. Then periodically throughout the day I get them out and place them in front of the food. This is how most babies are. Once in a while you'll find one that's confident enough to come out on his own during the day, but mostly they stay hidden.

2 is not a baby anymore. While all tortoises tend to sleep or rest a lot, you may need to check things like lighting or temperature to make sure it is comfy.
