I live in Florida and the humidity during the day ranges from 50-60%, and 70-80% from like 7 pm to 9 am. My tortoise is a redfoot and i know their humidity has to be around 80%. How do i keep his humidity high during the day when my enclosure is outdoors? I spray down his enclosure but it dries quickly mid day and im afraid he will get shell rot due to wet substrate. I do have a humid hide which he stays in all day (it’s humidity is 90%+ and its coco fiber substrate in it). the coco fiber also doesnt feel soaking wet, its just moist. Is this ok? Will he get shell rot from the moist coco fiber in the humid hide? Will he get pyramiding or mdb due to the enclosure outside the humid hide being dry or is the hide and the humidity during the night enough to satisfy his needs? If so, what do i do to maintain an all around humidity in the enclosure during the day?
