Hello, I've got a russian tortoise and I was wondering can i only use top soil as his substrate or do i have to mix it with something else, and how to keep the right humidity, should i spray the soil with water when it gets dry or what? thanks for help

Top soil is fine as long as you can reach the right humidity with it but I would suggest mixing it with co coir to trap the humidity. You can use a spray bottle when the humidity drops. Get a hydrometer to be accurate
