Humidity 5 year old leopard?

[Eron]

Hello all, I just wanted to know, what’s the recommended humidity level for a 5 year old leopard, I’ve recently taken it in and I’ve noticed it’s got a runny nose…

Hey! @wellington should be able to help you. How is the tortoise housed? Proper heating is important to fight any possible infection.

Hi, thanks for your reply, she’s in a closed vivarium, 26 d/c at night and rising to 33 in the day, humidity is always over 80, I know that’s ideal for a baby but not sure for a 5 year old leopard?

Doesn't need to be that high throughout the whole enclosure. But the temp should never go below 80 day and night.
For now that you are seeing a runny nose, raise temp to 85F until the running nose is gone, then wait one week and you can bring the temp back down to 80F. Always a basking temp of 95-100F
