Some suggest:
Water should be available at all times for soaking and drinking if the tortoise chooses to do so.
The other suggest:
They should be soaked in lukewarm water every other day only coming up to their chins. They will drink and defecate at this time.
Does anybody experienced with Star Tortoise know which is better?
If I keep water bowl inside, will it affect the humidity?

_humidity: that also depend on the water surface in ratio to your enclosure, you can gauge them but a shallow water disk shouldn't be much higher than your hide box unless you keep gold fish in there...errh.. a fish bowl
