Hello everyone,
My Russian Tortoise has been pyramiding so I’ve done my best to keep his humidity at 60% by getting a repti fogger. It’s helped but I still see that it drops to 40% at times. I soak him about 3-4 times a week for about 20 min. I mist his enclosure with a spray bottle regularly. I don’t believe that his pyramiding is getting worse but I don’t see it improving either. I just want to be sure he’s happy and healthy. Any tips would be great. I’ve taken a few pics of his enclosure. It is 45 inches long and 15.2 in wide. I have plastic wrap on about a quarter of the enclosure where his hides are and where the humidifier is. Temps are usually around 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I feed him spring mix most of the time. Ive put in an aloe Vera plant in that’s not in the pics. Also give him cactus pads occasionally. He’s about a year and a half old and pretty active in the morning but the goes in to his hide for most of the afternoon. He does come out randomly tho. His shell is hard and firm, eyes are clear, and tongue is pink. He’s poop is solid and toothpastey. Please let me know if you need more info.
