Is tap water fine?
What do I do if the water goes cold? Should I replace it?
At what temperature should I soak?
How frequently Should I soak my tortoise?
I have a hermanns tortoise.

Use warm tap water...approx. human body temp. Soak at least once per week for 20 minutes. Water will become cool during this period. This is ok.Is tap water fine?

Starting at 98.6, allowing the water to get cold, and soaking once a week? None of this is good advice for a baby tortoise. What do you base this advice on? What is your experience level with raising baby tortoises? How many have you raised and what species?Use warm tap water...approx. human body temp. Soak at least once per week for 20 minutes. Water will become cool during this period. This is ok.

I'm giving him soaks skipping 1 days between soaks. He poops a lot lol.This is not o.k.
Once a week for 20 minutes is too less for young torts.
Water which is getting cold can cause RI. The water should always stay warm during soaks.
