I got my 10 year old Russian tort a new substrate after I read how bad sand is for them. As I am from Ukraine I couldn’t find any coco coir or orchid bark which I heard are the best options for a grown Russian tort. I got the compressed coco husk which had to be soaked in water for it to expand. I tried to get it as dry as possible after but it’s still damp. When the heat lamp is on it’s okay but I’m scared to leave it off for the night as I’ve read that cold and moist environment for them can lead to problems. What should I do before I get to order the CHE bulb ?
