I did before I added everything in and I still pour a little where the sphagnum moss is, along with misting from time to time throughout the day. The humidity has risen a lot since putting the aluminum over it, so that's good. He doesn't have a name quite yet, nothing I've come up with quite...

This is the little guy. He's a Syrian subspecies from the Arizona Tortoise Compound. And then the enclosure before and after the aluminum foil I live in Virginia, USA. The summers are very hot and winters very cold (though these last few years very cold winters haven't started until...

Thanks so much Tom, for all your help! I'll try to get out and see what I can find growing outside tomorrow, though I'm not so sure if any of the weeds have survived this far. I'll keep a lookout for those in the grocery store. I also wanted to buy some seed mixes from the tortoise supply, so...
