Hello all!
I have my 7 month old Russian Tort Aughra in a 40 gal breeder tank. Her substrate is coco coir mixed with a little Repti-bark, she has a basking spot of 95° and the enclosure temp ranges to 72° on the opposite side. 10.0 UVB that’s the length of the enclosure, and 2 pots half buried in the substrate filled with sphagnum moss that she uses as hides.
I’ve gotten many mixed answers on what humidity is best for babies and I’d love some more input!
I have a pump sprayer that I use in the morning to saturate the substrate & sphagnum just enough that it doesn’t get muddy. The hydrometer reads around 75% after that, but will drop down to around 50% within 30 min after spraying.
At the moment I’m only spraying her enclosure 2x a day. Humidity is never under 40%.
Please let me know if I should change anything!
Thanks tortoise fam x
