I'm going to make humid hides for my torts but I'm wondering a few things.
Do torts sleep in them? If they do decide to bury down in them for the night would it cause problems with the night time temp drop making it become cold and damp?
Also what sort of humidity should be in the humid hide for a Russian? And what temp should it be in there? Not sure how close to the heat lamps I should position them!
Thanks

Yes they often choose to sleep in them. Put them on the warm side of the enclosure. Don't worry about the temp if its inside your house. Keep it damp, and don't worry about the exact humidity level.

Ok cool, as usual I'm over worrying. I will try and get tubs tonight.
Thanks
