Hello everyone. I was planning on starting the construction of my Hermann's tortoise's tortoise table but I had to main concerns. The first one is with heat. How would I keep it warm enough while also giving her the micro climates that she needs to thrive in. I live in the basement and sometimes it can get cold down here. (The abnormally cold winter here isn't helping with warm either.) So, this is one thing that I'm really nervous about because i would think that this big wooden box would be cold in every spot besides directly under the basking lights. The second thing, I haven't read enough about to fully understand it, is humidity. I know torts need humidity but why? What does it do for them? How much do they need and how should I be adding this humidity to their enclosure. I've had humidity explained to me before in a nutshell but I feel like it will take someone really breaking it down in order for me to fully grasp the concept. Thank you for reading this lengthy post and I'll appreciate any responses that are given.
