Redfoots shell is dry

[mikey meyer]

My redfoot's shell has been dry recently. I have been wetting him and giving him water. Maybe I haven't been wetting him enough? Is there a way I can keep his shell moist and so it can go back to its black color because it is kind of getting grey. Please help!

What's the humidity in his enclosure? They are suppose to have a higher humidity.

I'm not sure what it is but I try to keep it as humid as I can in there

Buy a hygrometer.

Ok I will. I had one but I don't think it is accurate. But I can get his shell back to normal right?

Can you post pictures? I've never really seen a tortoises shell "dry out", and I can't tell you how many times I've seen people mistake "dryness" for minor shell-fungus. If you don't know what your looking at, it would be easy to think that.

Pictures would be very helpful here.
