Hello!
I'm Andrea from New Hampshire. We just got a new red footed tortoise, Capri, and I need some advice from you experienced folk. We're currently using cypress mulch for the substrate. She has a little hut to go into where it's extra humid. I've been having a hard time keeping the humidity up, especially when I'm not home to mist every few hours. (we currently are just spraying it with a spray bottle) She also has a water bowl to go in and what not but it dries up so quickly. I'm worried about it not being humid enough for her but at the same time I don't want her to get shell rot. Being a new parent is stressful and I want to do everything right. Any advice would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
