I was just looking into getting a humidifier for my 4 inch red footed tort. She has topsoil, cypress mulch and sphagnum moss. She has gotten shell rot recently and we are having a hard time figuring out how to keep the humidity up while keeping her dry so a humidifier seems like a good option. She has a humid hide that have spongers glued to the top (out of reach) to hold the humidity in there but the rest of her home isn't great at holding humidity. It gets really dry on the top. The soil is on the bottom and does a decent job but not the best. I was looking for a tiny humidifier because she's so small and we could make it fit in her home and I don't want to over power her with it. Do you think any of these would be ok? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mini+humidifier
I'm not sure what to look for and really don't want to buy a huge reptile one because it seems like overkill if something more simple would work equally as well. I also put some tin foil on the top of her home to trap the heat a little better. Right now she's in an aquarium but I want to get her out of that as soon as possible. We are currently building a new home for our Russian that wasn't in the best conditions when my boyfriend's parents got her so we are working at that and then hopefully our red foot will get a bigger and better home.
