Hello Guys I have a question. So I recently got a reptibator(I know it's not the best) But I modified it so It can have correct humidity levels and I want to know what are good humidity levels for a Russian tortoise clutch. I put 1 humidity gauge and I trust it because the humidity on the reptibator is giving me low levels and the gauge is giving me 70-78 which I heard good humidity temps are from 70-84. Thank you!

FIrst, keep the media dry and don't use perlite.
Reptibators work fine and hold a constant temp, its just that the little readouts are not accurate, so you have to have secondary thermometer/hygrometers to get the conditions correct.
I'd keep humidity above 80%. I use water tubs inside the incubator for this purpose.
Here is more info on how to start them after hatching too:

I put my eggs in a plastic shoe box with a lid on it and put the shoe box in the incubator. You can drill a couple of very small holes around the top of the container, but not on the lid. I use vermiculite as an incubation media. I mix it in a 1 : 1 ratio with water by weight for Sulcatas and...

Ok I saw another thread you were in and you said to use vermiculite so that’s what they are in I have the humidity at a solid 77-80 on my second thermometer.FIrst, keep the media dry and don't use perlite.
