Humidity Russian Torts

[Niffer10]

Sorry guys I've done about 5 different posts now, but this one just regarding humidity this time.
We have a Russian Tort, I've read humidty should be 60.
What does everyone else have theirs at? What is 'correct' or is no one really sure? Just want to make sure we're doing everything right for her.
Thanks all

The reason we chose Russian tortoises is that we live in Colorado, which has a similar climate to the Asian steppes where this species comes from. I have read that T. horfieldii should have a relative humidity no higher than 40%, or else they may become susceptible to pneumonia. Around here that is easy to do, because the humidity is naturally low, usually around 20%.

60% is fine, mine are kept at around 50, and they are doing great.
