I have a 7 month old Sulcata that I have had since it was about 2 months old and is thriving and growing quickly. This is my first tortoise, or reptile for that matter, and I want to ensure I am doing everything I can to create as positive and thriving environment as I can. I know humidity is a HUGE factor in deterring pyramiding, and although my tortoise's shell has no signs of pyramiding I want to know how to increase humidity in his open air habitat. I soak the little dude for about 30 minutes a day every single day and let him roam around my apartment for a few hours a day to get some exercise and exploring done.
I spray the habitat with a water bottle, but it dries out quicker than I'd like. I've seen reptile humidifiers online, but am hesitant as to if this is necessary. I've also read that placing a water dish in the habitat close to the heat source can create humidity.
As a side note, I live in Southern California about 10 miles from the beach, which means the natural humidity of outside is about 60%+ daily. I literally have windows open every day all day, but I'm sure the humidity isn't the same inside my apartment as outside.
Any and all suggestions are happily welcomed! Thank you in advance!
