Substrate Coating/ Strange Behavior

[smosher420]

My russian tort keeps going from water to substrate until hes covered his arms and legs in substrate then he either basks or lays in his water bowl? is this a heat/humidity issue? GAHHHH im a tortoise dad and im worried

Sounds normal....human changes out water dish a gazillion times a day while tort appears to patiently lay in wait and then bum rushes through the water to allow better substrate adhesion and then a quick tromp back through the water...yup over and over and over again---

That behavior sounds totally normal! Tortoises make messes, lots of messes. That's what they do best!
