Redfoot substrate to keep humidity high

[mojo_1]

I'm afraid the temperature will be too high if I use CHE since it's at 30-31C already. But for curiosity sake, I tried installing a CEH. The temp rose as expected, up to 35C directly below the CEH, but I saw no increase in humidity. Yeah I think it not being a closed enclosure is the main issue because all those evaporated water is not contained.

Is there any other option besides resorting to green house like solution in this case. If not, then I guess I'll just have to stick with the spray method. Would a humidifier help in anyway?

Do not use a humidifier in the tortoise enclosure, you will cause more health issues. You will need to find a way to close up the enclosure. That is the only way you're going to get humidity to maintain. You can do the tent method or clear plastic build or buy a closed chamber enclosure. You will not win this battle without closing the enclosure up.
