I carefully read the care sheet in this forum. It looks like our forum suggests to raise the tortoise in a closed Chamber to maintain high humidity to prevent the tortoise to be pyramid in shell
my question is how long I should do this. Until the tortoise reaches 6 inches? 9 inches? Or I should put it in the closed chamber until it grows to full adult size and shouldn’t put it in a outdoor enclosure before that.
just note if I put it in the outdoor enclosure, the humidity is hard to maintain. Even if spray the enclosure, the humidity can only last several minutes and then it will be dry the humidity will go away. Also the temperature is hard to maintain too. It is usually very hot in the direct sun but much cooler under the shade.
