Hello,

I am new to the forum, I have 3 tortoises, a sulcata, a leopard, and a graeca.

I recently bought a humidifier and I was wondering where I should install it, on the hot side or on the cold side of the enclosure?

Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome. You should not install it at all. Foggers should to be used with tortoises. Humidity should be maintained by reducing ventilation. A closed chamber, in other words.

You could use it on the other side of the room to help humidify the whole room, but not blowing directly into the enclosures.

You do have three enclosures, right?

Here is the care info for the sulcata and leopard:

And care info for the Testudo:
