I was wondering some soak their tortoises for 30 minutes, for us if we soak for 30 minutes our skin will get all wrinkle and irritated, would they feel this too?

My tortoises have never complained of wrinkled or irritated skin after a soak.

Their skin is quite different than ours.

No, they will not mind nor will it bother their skin. Besides, if you had skin like there's, it wouldn't get wrinkly and the soak on that hard scaly skin would feel good.

I can't help but laugh at some of these respones, but no, torts won;t get pruney. My russian enjoys his 30 minute soak, and is always mad when I take him out :D

Ok just wanted to make sure, cause when I was getting a pedicure and was soaking for a little longer than usual I got all wrinkly and had to take my feet out of the water. I need to stop thinking they are like human. Btw I love reading everyone responses on this forum makes me smile all the time.
