I currently own a baby Sulcata tortoise, that I adopted about a week ago from a rescue. The rescue’s owner and I both acknowledge that my baby tortoise has some pyramiding from his previous owner who abandoned him. I’ve done tons of research, and I understand humidity can play a huge part in how the shell develops. I first started off with a spray bottle, because I saw someone online use it for their baby. I also thought I was saving some money. However, after numerous pumps from that spray bottle. I went to petco and invested in a big mister bottle. Eventually, we got worried how fast the humidity would drop. We’d often have to rush home to see if Widget had enough humidity. So that’s when we bought an automatic mister! It’s absolutely perfect. I recommend getting one from the get go especially if you have a hatchling or baby who needs humidity. Widget loves it when the misters go off. Overall, it’s something I totally recommend.

Hello!

What kind of enclosure do you have?

Usually, you don't need any additional misting/spraying with a properly set up "closed chamber" enclosure.. Just to pour a cup of water in substrate once in a week or so.
