Hey all! Quick question, how do i keep the humidity up in my torts enclosure.? His substrate is wet, and the temp is about 85°. What do i need to do different? As of right now the humidity is sitting at about 40-50%...
Correct it does do that. However you also don't want high humidity with anything lower than 80f temps. Best way to retain heat and humidity is a closed chamber.
I agree with the previous posters, and add a humidifier. Cover your top, use a ceramic heating element to maintain temps. Make sure your substrate is nice n moist, and doesnt dry out from your basking lights.
Don't get rid of a light if you need it to keep the temps up. Close off the top as stated. You can cover it with tin foil as a cheap fix. Make sure the night temps stay no lower then 80 but be sure there is no light. Toms threads below will explain.
