Hi. I'm Sam, and this is my first post here! I own a 10 year old Redfoot and have a question about humidity in my tortoise table that I recently built.
The table is about 6.5' X 3'. My first attempt at keeping heat and humidity in was to create a wooden "tent" over the top with one side on a hinge so I can lift it to get into the enclosure. I did this, and heat now stays at 80 with no problem.
The problem it the humidity. When i spray it, it will go up to 40 Percent or so, but only for a few minutes. What can I do to keep the humidity up?
P.S. For substrate, I have about three inches of topsoil, and about an inch and a half of cypress mulch.
Thanks!
