Humidity??

[Digger&Blinky]

Hello I have my two male Russians that I normally soak but they are feeling a bit dry I don't have any fancy humidity stuff just a heat lamp and a UV light

What kind of soil do you have in the enclosure of your torts ? Can you sprinkle it every day with water from a flower sprayer so your torts get more humidity ?
How much Watt has your heat lamp ? Mayby it is too hot for your russian tortoises.

My temps are 23-26°c and I have this pellet type substrate that you can spray

23 - 26 C is not to warm. Do you sprinkle the substrate regulary ? How often do you soak your torts and do they have a water bowel to drink and sit in the water ?

Is 26 degrees the hottest part of the enclosure?

They have to be able to bask under 95-100F in order to properly digest their food. And the pellets need to go as I said in your other thread. Please read the care sheet under the Russian section and adjust your keeping accordingly. Also play it safe and give them their own enclosure before one gets seriously hurt or worse.
