Hello,
Our 3.5 inch leopard turtle is currently in a 7 inch deep Rubbermaid. We haven't had a top on it for the first 9 days of having him and simply spray down his home many times daily. We bought a hygrometer today, his readings are generally 80 degrees throughout and 100ish in his basking spot.
We soak him daily for 15-20 mins in warm water.
I'm concerned about the humidity in his home as it's at like 40%... Until we spray, it goes to 99... And slow descends.
I wonder what suggestions you might have, or ideally automated methods to keep temp and humidity constant.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I've read articles about keeping it enclosed and I assume that's what we'll have to do?
Thanks!
