My very young sulcata has been having increasingly dry face 'skin' and now it looks like it's even starting to crack.
Is this normal??? Do tortoises shed or is he just too dry? Help
yes our enclosure is open and doesn't recieve very much humidity... we are working our best to create a semi-closed habitat for the little guy. he is very new to my boyfriend and i- we DID get the basic needs covered- but buying all the advanced and specifics are taking time and money at the moment.. we truly do want the best for our forever family member..

Heat emitter and Uvb bulb: basking is 95-105, ambient is never below 80. (we are saving up and making room for tube lighting uvb so hopefully this helps his eyes out as he rubs them often)
We soak him daily/every other day for 30-35 minutes.
~Will changing bedding to mainly soil help with keeping humidity? Along with a semi covered top and occasional water spritzing?
