This is why keeping their shells undamaged and uncovered is so important. They absorb sunlight through their shells, so please don't paint them either!

Willard is very much enjoying his soak. In addition to providing them the water they need sometimes it’s good to just let them soak. Tortoises have an amazing gift, they can soak up water through their butts. Next to him, you can also see one of his favorite foods, a native w**d called spurge, which is in the genius Euphorbia. There are several similar looking species and all are great food for tortoises. Just make sure wherever you collect this “w**d” from that it hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides.
