Hi everyone, i have an 11 year old russian and we're in the process of moving house so his vivarium isn't in an ideal place - the room he's in gets very very hot. Any tips on how to keep him cool as well as giving him the heat he needs? I know that's very awkward. He's trying to dig a lot, I'm assuming that's because he wants to regulate his temperature, and the amount of substrate he has isn't as much as we'd like and it's not ideal but it's all we can provide whilst we're sorting the new house. I'm also a bit unsure of how to keep the right humidity levels for him? I was told when we got him that if we spray the ground it causes respiratory problems, is this true? Is there anything else we can do to keep it humid for him? Thanks in advance.
