Hello, I am new to forums (in general) and have just recently acquired a male Russian tortoise(this week) that we've named LEO. I'm looking forward to learning from some experienced Russian tortoise owners. I live in Wisconsin, and my name is Ashley. currently i am wondering how to create more humidity in my enclosure and increase the head in the basking area. Right now i am using coconut coir and sand mixture for my tort. it's sitting at 30% also the heat in my basking side is sitting at 85 degrees. Any suggestions?? Also the substrate seems to be sticking to Leo, is there something else i should be using.....I don't want to keep adding water to the substrate because i have heard conflicting view points. is cypress mulch better?
