I have been using bed a beast and sand mixture for my russian. Unfortunately when I made the mixture, I made way too much and have the rest in a bucket. It is getting a little dry and i was wondering if I could get it wet again so its a little damp? Is that possible or is it trash now?

If you spray it with a spray bottle it should be fine, I don't think it has the potential to mold or anything. I have heard of people spraying it down for moisture.

It's still good. Anytime it starts drying out, it should be sprayed to keep it from getting dusty when in the tort cage. Drying out while left in the bucket won't hurt it. Just add the water to get it wet again before using.

Thanks. I was just worried about molding or something....

Might mold if sealed up. In the open air it will just dry out. Doesn't mold in the tort enclosure. Always wise to be safe and not sorry. I personally just to be even safe, would stir the bucket up every few days so it dries out quicker and all the way down.
