I personally don't think there is any absorption going on. This is why you have the wet areas. If there is any it has to be very small. Again... the tortoise is a reptile... with reptilian skin. I would guess that fro the same reason they don't sweat... they can't absorb moisture through the skin... no pores.
I do have to admit that my observations are limited to about 100 animals (Aldabras and Redfoots) over a 10 year period.
