Hi guys,
I recently bought a bunch of sterilised top soil for my Russian tortoise. I'm just a bit confused about the humidity as everywhere recommends 40%-50% however my humidity ratings indicate 80-90% (when the sensor is submerged in the soil).
Is it only the air around the tortoise that needs to be 40-50% or does all of the soil (including beneath the surface) need to be the correct humidity?
Thanks
