When you soak you torts do you use tap water, I think for drinking I will give them spring water as my other critters other then the dogs and cats get spring. Any ideas is tap ok for them.

Yes, and it's also okay for them to drink it. Warm water for soaking though.

I use warm tap water for soaking and use tap water for drinking also.

i also use warm tap water for daily soaks. but in the water dish i use distilled water. which is just tap water that sits for over 24 hours, which eliminates a lot of the chlorine.

I gave Cooper bottled water for his first 10 months, then I switched him to tap water. I dont think it made a difference to him!

I just use tap water. I've never bothered some sort of experiment with a tortoises drinking water, but if you decide to go that route I would be interested in hearing about your experiences.

I know one keeper offers his tortoises only rain water. He hasn't seen any noticeable difference from when he offered them tap water.

I use water from the tap. It is well not city water and it is what I drink.
