the tortoise be in the water all the time?

The tortoise can't be in the water all the time. Soaking in water for a long time can easily cause it to get sick, so it must be provided with a drying platform to let it bask in the sun every day. Although the current ornamental turtles are terrapins, they spend most of their time in the natural environment in the water, but the conditions of artificial breeding are different from those in the wild, the water quality is still easy to deteriorate, so it is better to change the water regularly, and do not let it soak all the time, which will increase the risk of rotten skin.
