Soaking

[Radiated Tortoise]

I have 2 radiated tortoises about 3 years old, the humidity in my terrarium is around 30-60 percent. How often do i soak them? Can i give them a bath everyday?
Thanks

You can give them a soak every day if you wish. Three to four times a week is still a good number. Younger tortoises (like less than 6-8 months old) could be soaked daily to ensure proper hydration.

Don't forget to spray the shells too!

Yes.

Are u meant to spray them? Cuz I hear some ppl say not to spray them.

Spraying the shell will help ensure smooth growth.

I soak mine once a week which they dont even get in the wild. off course there is a shallow water dish for them to drink from. All is well.
