Hi there, annster!


Can you read this thread here? There was a similar question regarding calcium, and you can read my responses here.

As for the humidity temperatures, I've read a variety of different answers but the best (and most common) answer is no more than 60 is perfect for Russian tortoise humidity. Here's an article you can glance at.

If you scroll down to the green "Humidity" section, you'll get a pretty brief (yet detailed) answer.

I hope this helps. Cheers!

I use RepCal or ZooMed calcium supplements.

How old and what size is your tortoise? Where are you?

It depends on the age of your tort for humidity. Adults don't need as high as hatchlings. 60% is more the hatchlings
