Star tortoise Hatchling.Need advice.I have a month old Indian Star tortoise.Need advice on humidity & temperature. His tank is an Exo Terra 18x18x36 with double doors on the front.He has a 100 watt Zoo Med Reptile basking bulb that is on 12 hour and a Zoo Med Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 HO T5 UVB Lamp.At night he has a ceramic heater temps low 70's.How moist does his tank need to be regarding humidity? I have been spraying his substrate of coconut fiber daily with warm filtered water but the humidity gauge never reads above 45%. Should I get an automatic mister?Temperature is 85 daytime.Night time in the 70's. He only wants one kind of lettuce even though I offer him organic mixed greens from the grocery store.He will take a few bits from cucumber and won't touch the Mazuri DL Tortoise food which i do soak in warm water and mash up for him. I soak him every morning in warmed filtered water for 30 minutes and boy does he poop.
