: I can respect other methods of tortoise keeping, but
: I provide mine with water all the time, his pen
: is big enough and his indoor enclosure is large
: enough that this is not a problem. The bowl is
: clean and the water fresh. Sometimes mine will go
: sit in it when it's hot, then go off and bask some,
: then go head for some shade. In the morning my
: tortoise will sometimes wake up, bask a bit and
: head for his water bowl and drink a LOT.

: I personally can't stand to see something thirsty and
: not have water, I have 4 bird baths I keep full
: of fresh cool water all day. My tarantulas have
: water bowls also, I just like giving things a choice.
: You can't predict when they will be thirsty.

: Some people keep thier animals without water,
: others don't. I think ultimately you have to
: decide because there are different opinions.

Gee,thanks.I don't feel so bad now.I water the birds too.I agree that everything should have water if they decide they need it.I guess everybody does have a different opinion about everything.
