What I had to do is put a lid on it and added a humidifier. Works great.
No. Check the thread out below. It is mine. I also have a picture of my enclosure posted on there and the temps and humidity levels. It will help. If your temps get to high, cut a vent hole in the top to let some heat out.

One of the benefits of a covered or closed in enclosure is that you can use lower wattage bulbs to get the same temps.
Yes. The reptifogger will work. I actually used that first, but it only lasted two weeks or so and quit. I returned it and bought the personal one in the pic. The fog doesn't bother him at all. I had an open enclosure before I built this one. For the same problem your having, humidity, I built this one. Used all the same lighting and heating as before. I didn't have to change any bulbs. In fact I just had to add the fluorescent house lamp bulb so it would be brighter in tub 2. I also keep coir moist. I grow weeds and grass in it.
Carolina pet supply is where I got mine. It was a mixture of seeds. They have a great variety to choose from. I have a order of their chia seeds and TNT on the way. They have a advertisement at the top of TFO, check them out. Prices seem reasonable.
I also read earlier a thread asking about bird seed. You can also grow pet bird seed, turns to weeds/grass for the torts to eat. I am not sure about wild bird seed. Not sure if wild is as safe as captive. My bird waist a lot of his seeds, so now I am going to throw them in the mix of seeds also.

I am going to assume they do, only because when they have "free shipping" it will say to USA only. That makes me think they ship outside the US. you maybe able to email them from their web sited and ask. If you can't let me know and I can call them for you and find out. Maybe some one on TFO knows? However let me know if you would like me to call them tomorrow and find out.

I don't use paypal at all. Strickly a credit card through their site. However you being in Canada, I don't know if that would make a difference or not. I would think not.
That is what I bought. I also purchase dandelion seeds, but I am waiting until I can plant them this summer. He eats the stuff before it even becomes close to a dandelion. I also just ordered the chia seeds.
I used to grow them in separate containers then add them in as they grew. The other seeds grew faster than the dandelions. Now I just grow the seeds in every spot that doesn't have a dish or rock, so there isn't really one spot anymore. Thanks for the idea though.
Great, i am so glad the ship to Canada. TNT is Dried weed, flower and plants. To sprink on his food. Also from Carolina Pet Supply. Check it out on their website. It explains it. Many on TFO has given good reviews.
