Hi there! I’m new to the forum and a first time tortoise owner. 2 weeks ago I bought a baby leopard tortoise not sure how old exactly but he’s about 2.5 inches. I am really invested in making a good life for my little guy but I am just full of questions and everything I’m seeming to be finding is giving me mixed messages! Firstly I’m concerned about the humidity level I see things that say they need a dry environment and some say it needs to be humid. I live in a dry state so the humidity is about 30%-60% typically. I have been keeping his tank about 85-90° ambient and 95-100° on the basking side. His tank is not currently closed top but I have a lid and a humidity gauge on the way. Any tips on what to do and what to avoid are appreciated! Thanks
