Should his urine be white? Also, about how often should healthy torts defecate/urinate? My RES turtles do so at least a million times a day (or so it seems when I am trying to keep their tank clean!!), but I am noticing that my tort isn't quite as "regular" as they.

: The tortoise poop should be blackish and firm. The white you mentioned is the color of it's uric acid (pee). I soak my russians for about 10 minutes once a week. They are adapted to extract the moisture they need out of the food they consume - being from arid lands.
