sI'm wondering if it's a swarm with 80%+ humidity that a hatchling needs, can I build my enclosure like those turtles tank and just reverse the proportion of lands and water to 90% land 10% running water (clean and drinkable) underneath (powered by a fish tank filter), then heat up the water to 80+ degree with an underwater heater.
My ideal setup is 50% of Glossostigma elatinoides on a leveled arcylic platform with water flowing undernerath, a swimming pool of 10% (1.5cm depth), 20% of planting area which Dantellion, Plantain etc will be planted, 20% of a "Dry" basking area which allows the tortoise to get their foot away from water.
I know it's a silly and overthought idea, but thats what I think, I need the moist but i hate when the substrate get stinks or go mouldy. I have been building fish tanks for water plants and drawf shrimps for over 10years and im more confident with water than solid substrate, especially when they are wet... of course, it will only come when that fits my baby tortoise....
