I'm researching different tortoise species to see which will be the
best for me. I have a 4x8 tort table I built in my basement, but the top is open as of now. When I had a red foot, I had to cover it with a plastic sheeting to keep the humidity up. It was a constant battle. Do Marginated need the same level of humidity? I realize a baby wouldn't be in that size enclosure and would need humidity, but what do adults need? The thing that stinks is that these types that need high humidity/covers-you can't observe them easily.
