Proper humidity help, please?

[*misskerrimoo*]

Hey everyone, I need help with humidity! Every place I read, has conflicting info... I have a hatchling Greek & some places say lowest humidity possible, that they like it dry... Others say high humidity, to keep from pyramiding.. I don't know what to go with. I need personal experience answers...! Please help me out, guys/gals! I don't went to make him sick, by any means. It's too much conflicting info out there! Agh!

I would go for normalish house humidity, maybe even slightly lower than that, with a humid hide. The top substrate should be dry but it should be moist underneath.

Ohhh! Thank you soooo much for the help! that's basically how I had him. But I had the top substrate moist. I'll fix that.
I spray his hide sub every night, & he buries himself down under it... Thank you very much for your input!

Some suggestions. For my enclosure i use 3 types of substrate. Coco coir, moss and barks. my enclosure set is, for the hide i use the moss because it maintains the humidity quite well. for the other part, i use coco coir for the bottom half and a smaller layer of the barks. the coco coir can remain most for quite some time. the barks can remain dry. reason for this, in case Squirtle (my yearling) decided to go dig someplace else, she can have a proper humidity.

Here is the thread I started on Squirtle. He/she is a yearling ibera greek. If you look at the couple pictures of her new enclosure this can give you a better idea of what im talking about.
