Humidity for adult russian?

[justino4444]

Hello - I was wondering what humidity level my adult RT should be at

 

[hunterk997]

Adults don't need much humidity, so maybe 40%-50%

Ok thanks

Mine seen to do well at 50% or higher. It even gets into the 65 % range in the spring during a wet spell. Outdoors they enjoy humidity here on the east coast of 80% and higher some days.

Your substrates ability to hold moisture can be as important as the humidity. I like a mix of top soil and coco coir.

Do you get just normal top soil? Or is there something special?

 

[WillTort2]

You want the cheaper top soil without additives.

I buy organic topsoil and mix it with coconut coir [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
