I was a kid back then, and all my tortoises had was a small terrarium with sand in it, and maybe some pieces of wood or some stones. They mostly ate salad and some fruit, mostly apples if I recall correctly.
Once in a while I'd give 'em a bath, but normally their environment was pretty dry. Note that these were tortoises, because turtles would've croaked on me even faster. They also had a lamp fixed on the terrarium, which wasn't turned on all the time however. I figured, that if they didn't want to bask they'd have too little space to escape the heat.
Long story short, I had them for a couple of years, and before I gave them away 2 of them died. I can't really say what was wrong with them, but I figure it was mostly an unbalanced diet; from what I know now, they should have gotten some meat or diary products once in a while.
