Humid hide question.

[PixelAdams]

Hello all. I've had my marginated tortoise, Pixel, for over a year now. She's over three inches and growing smoothly. I had a humid hide in her enclosure for a year, but recently took it out. The humidity in her enclosure generally stays above 50%, higher if I spray it down.

My question is how long will my tortoise benefit from having a humid hide. I'm going to be moving her to a larger enclosure soon (the zoo med tortoise house.) should I make one for that? At what age will she be ok without?

Don't have an answer to your question, but your tort has the coolest tort name! (Mine is called Pixel too... ;-) )

Please post pictures of your tort as well as her enclosure asap.

Good luck!
