I would give it a humid hide as apposed to trying to keep his whole enclosure humid. I've read that leos are prone to RI if kept too damp.

Great pics; Your torts all look healthy and happy. Jeremy

Hi Megan; Welcome to the forum. I think Russians are a great choice for a first tort. This is the perfect place to find all the info you will need to care for one properly(diet,heating,lighting,ect.) Jeremy

evin; I don't think humidity is to much of a problem if you keep the temp up. But I was wondering what you did to bring it back down so fast? Jeremy
