I’m keeping 80% for both Indian star and hermann tortoises....thoughts?

Should the humidity be decreased as they grow older than a year?

They will be mostly living indoors as I am in W. Canada.

Humidity is most important when they are small and growing. At full size, it is a lot less important.

I keep tropical species differently than temperate species.

This is for stars, sulcatas, leopards, pancakes:

This one for Russians, greeks, hermanni, and DTs:

This is for all species:

Some species need more grass than others, but the food list here is good for all species:
