Hi guys! I am a new tortoise owner and I have a bunch of questions. First off, let me tell you about my little Memito. I got him roughly a month ago. The guy I got him from had said he's not a year old yet. Since I've gotten him, I've spent over $500 on him. I've done a ton of research about his care as well. My biggest problem is humidity. I have a wire mesh top and I tried covering it with a sheet of plastic to keep the humidity in but that didn't work. I also tried covering it with a wet towel but that seems to be failing as well. I mist several times a day. But my hunidity stays at around 55%. How do you guys keep up your humidity? The temp never gets below 80. Another question I have is enclosure ideas. I want to built a two story enclosure for him but I'm not quite sure how I want it. If I could ever figure out how to upload pictures on here, I'll post one of his current enclosure. I'm also concerned that his shell is beginning to pyramid due to the lack of humidity. I could also use some suggestions for his diet. He seems to be a little picky. He does not like yellow squash at all. He will eat apples occasionally. He loves him some spring mix though. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
