Hi everyone, wanted to get a little feedback on my set up.
I'm going to be getting a baby marginated tortoise, and am setting up an indoor enclosure. I've got a flower pot as a humid hide, a large food dish and a small water dish, though those can be switched. They're both flush with the coconut husk substrate. Humidity stays between 60 and 70% although I haven't watered it in a few days, and it was at 85-90% after watering. My basking temperature is 93+-2F. The cool side floats around 70-75. My night temps are 80-83 degrees under the CHE and around 68-70 on the cool side at night. The CHE is controlled by a thermostat so that it won't get too hot. I'll try to attach a couple photos too.
Additionally, the humid hide has about a 3.5 inch tall gap at the entrance, and I will be getting a sponge to put on top this weekend.
Thanks!
