Hi guys!
So excited, just picked up my first few things for my upcoming Russian Tortoise! So far I have the enclosure, some of the substrate, a few decorations, and the thermometer and humidity gauge.
I am aware that the basking area should be between 90 and 100 degrees F, and the overall tank temperature should be in the 70's. However, where in the tank should I place the thermometer? Near the basking area or away from it?
Also, for the humidity gauge (which I believe should be around 40%) does it matter where I place it?
Thank you!
