Thank you everyone for your advice. I am so grateful for this forum. I’m attaching pictures of the lights I’m currently using. I’m going to add some orchid bark but I’ll check ingredients to make sure. I’ll got my humidity up by wetting the substrate and will continue to do this. Thanks again...
It says coconut fiber. I do feel like it is a little dusty. What orchid bark do you recommend that I can put on top? I do have an extra heat light I can turn on, to get temps higher. I’ll turn it on and just watch it I know it can get to 100, it seems when it gets higher he’s less active and...
Could it be possible for Zilla coconut husk brick to be irritating my Russian tortoise eyes? We have changed bulbs, put fresh substrate of the Zilla coconut husk, kept humidity at 30, but it still seems dry and Pickles keeps rubbing his eyes. He is pooping, peeing normally, eating, no running...

Thank you so much, this is all very helpful. I’ll see about making his inside closure bigger and we did plan on building an outdoor enclosure this summer that should hopefully help him be able to roam more too. Did you think the basking light was bad too or just the uvb? Your thoughts on using...
That is the uvb light I have.
This is the basking bulb I have.

This is his tank, it's really small I know. We have...
I use Aqua culture basking bulb incandescent 100watt, hugger zoo UVB fluorescent light. I don’t have a humidity system but have a thermometer that says 40%. I’ve been misting and wetting substrate its coconut substrate. If I need humidity system how can I do that?
We just recently got Pickles for Christmas. He’s a Russian Tortoise. Im concerned about his shell. I was soaking him twice a week. Last week I started soaking him for 20-30mins a everyday, misting his enclosure, he has a cuddle bone in his home, added calcium powder to his food, and zoo med...
