How deep should it be i have some in there now it covers the bottom of the enclosure and when its wet it seems deeper i keep about 1/3 of it wet for humidity
What kind of tortoise do you have? I'm sorry but I can't see the avatar well enough to tell. I don't think there's any such thing as too deep when it comes to Russians I have mine at least 4 to 6 inches deep throughout the enclosure, I pour water into it and then stir it around with my hands to get it moist all the way through. The top will dry out but the rest of it will stay moist underneath. Never let it get dusty though. And then you can pad it down with your hands to make it easier to walk on.Well i think i may have added to much its now like 7 inchs but it should be fun to see if they dig and hide now
Not wet, just damp. If you squeeze it water should not come out of it.I have leopards doesnt it having it wet all the time what gives them shell rot
When I first make it, I add the water to the bricks and then wait and then, one handful at a time so it takes a while, I squeeze the excess water out of it.and then I pour the water on my plants but if you added it in their wet just stirred around with the other dryer stuff and yes it will dry out. No big deal.Ok well its wet right now cuz i added all that coconut coir but should dry out fast in there
