Last year I adopted a radiated tortoise. This is my first tortoise! So, I'm constantly researching in hopes that I'm doing everything right!
He's pretty small. So, he’s currently living in a 20g glass aquarium. His temps are always around 80-90 degrees and his humidity levels pretty much stay at 50%. Is that a high enough humidity for him? Or should it be higher?
I use the Zoo Med Coconut Fiber as his substrate and wet it every morning. What else can I do to make the humidity higher if needed? I couldn’t find any information if radiated tortoises are prone to shell rot and am a bit worried about his constant wet substrate."
