Id say that your tort WOULD NOT learn to drink from a bird cage type dish - Been curious about whether a bird cage watering (like) dish would work, screwed to the side just at or above ground level. Would he put his head over the small edge and drink? Would he learn that this is where the water is?
In the garden center, look for two large terra-cotta plant saucers - put them inside one another buried level in the substrste. In the morning, remove the top one, rinse and place back inside nd fill up. The lower dish provides an easy place to plop the now clean dish down in to. You don’t have to fiddle about with creating a new indentation each time.
