Thank you!I don't measure the temp as such, but I use the same principle for bathing a baby. I test the water before putting my tort in by putting the inside of my wrist in the water to see its not too hot. Then throughout the soaking you will prob need to top up the warm water, so the temp doesn't drop. I found my tort prefers his water to be slightly warmer than luke warm (which is suggested).
Zero times yet -- she's on her way here in about an hour! (New Tort Mom here!) I'm all set up to give her the out-of-the-box arrival soak, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a heat protocol to that bath I was missing. Since temps are so important in their enclosures, I wanted to make sure soaking water temps were on point as wellHow often do you soak your tortoise?
Thank you so much!I find my tortoises relax and enjoy the soak most at about 95F. Congrats and enjoy your new baby.
