For the water for bathing tortoises what do you do -

Boil the kettle a bit and cool it down with cold water

or

Use warm water straight from the tap

They often drink in the bath though (actually a container, not an actual bath), is it able to do that in the shower? Is it not a bit soapy or even bleachy if it does?

Yea they can, the water normaly sits about a inch in height with the shower on, bath is always cleared of suds etc, they love it in there I'll try to get a pic, they stand up tall with their front legs and stick their necks all the way out
