Humidity for my hatchling

[aliciamsaldana]

I received the best present for Mother's Day (early) a hatchling! He is four months old and cute! I have the home, food and lighting figured out but I can't get it humid enough?? I need ideas because I want him to grow up okay. Please help!

Hello and welcome to the forum. What type of tortoise do yo have?

I have a sulcata

I use a Reptifogger with no complaints. Others use Walmart humidifiers. Others just spray down the substrate of the enclosure with water a few times a day. With the higher humidity, you need to insure that your temps never drop below 80f. Humid cold=sick. Humid warm=healthy. Did I mention to make sure the temps don't drop below 80f? This is very important for the health of your youngun. Post some pictures and read Toms threads and stickies at the top of the sulcata section.

Make sure the coldest the enclosure gets is 80f. : )
