Hi ryan. Well russian tortoises dont like humidity. They get RI and shell rot from high humidity. They are from deserts and Iraq. I soak my greeks 1 time a week. It does not stress them out really at all. I see them sucking down the water and they are happy again. You want to soak them at least 1 time a week. ALso keep the humidity down. Your russian will be getting most of his water from the vegies and leafs he eats and not humidity.


Congrats. on getting him by the way.
