Silly question

[karleyreed]

I know this might sound silly, but which end of the enclosures do you keep humid and moist? The warm or cool end?

Not silly at all. Depends on species and age. For a baby sulcata or leopard I keep the entire enclosure warm and humid 24/7. If memory serves, you have a young Western Hermann's. Someone who keeps those should advise you of the specifics that best suit them.

I keep th opposite end from his hotspot moist and cool for my Russians. They have the choice to be dry or moist. Mediterranean species like ours like to b able to cool down during the night and I found trying to keep the warm end moist kept the humidity up way too high in the entire enclosure.

I have adults though and I believe babies can be kept in a more humid environment. There are several breeders of Mediterranean torts that will prob chime in on this Have u truer any choir yet?
