I am spraying some water into my red footed tortoises enclosure to keep the humidity levels up, but I'm not sure how often I need to spray it. Please help, any help will be appreciated.
wellington said:It's best if you can cover 1/2 of it and actually wet the bottom layers of substrate. Reds seem to be more prone to shell rot then say the leopards or Sullies. If you can pour water in a corner, so the bottom layers are wet, leaving the top dry, then you shouldn't have to wet it as often. Make sure you have a good humidity gage.
