: : 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,

: : not have water, I have 4 bird baths I keep full
