Depends on where he comes from. If from the rain forest like the RedFoot, then yes. But most tortoises will get the water they need from the greens they eat. However, if you are keeping it as a pet it is smart to soak your tortoise in a shallow bowl (water should come to the turtles chin) every month or so. This way you are sure they are getting all the water they need.

∙ 11y agoI once saw a house lizard come near the wash basin and drink a few drops of water dripping from the point where the tap was connected...
This removed my doubt that House Lizard never drink water .. which is not true.

∙ 12y agoi think they drink water in the water or they absorb water in here skin. they also get it from some of the foods they eat.
The above is incorrect I believe. I think they get it the same way Sea Snakes do. They get it by drinking fresh rain water at the surface of the ocean before it mixes with the salt water. I am 100% sure that is what Sea Snakes do but not 100% on Sea Turtles.
I think the first one is most correct because sea turtles drink the salt water and the salt is removed by glands behind their eyes, which come out as very salty tears.
