We adopted our Horsfield recently, he's around 4 years old and was being raised in the wrong conditions, beech chips, small vivarium with the wrong lighting etc. We've just made the largest tortoise table that will fit in our flat (we're in the UK) - it's just under 6foot by 4foot. He has an Arcadia T5 34" UVB bulb that runs the length above his table and a basking flood bulb at one end with some hides and a cooler end at the other. We've just added the substrate for him - it's a 50/50 mix of Wickes graded topsoil (recommended brand in UK) and Eco Earth coco coir. For some reason the humidity is reading around 80%. Is there a way we can get it down, or will it be ok for him as it will dry out on its own?
