Thanks Yvonne. Turns out the cypress mulch was a cypress mulch mix. I have decided to switch to peat moss until my eco earth comes in. How moist should the peat be for humidity?
I recently got a russian tortoise about 2 days ago at a reptile show. He seemed healthy when I got him and his basking temps are 95 and the cool end is 72 during the day. He was first on cypress mulch and this morning I noticed he would not open his eyes and a bubble was coming out of his nose...
