Posted by: Melgrj7 at Thu Jan 18 19:47:50 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Melgrj7 ] I give my ornate box turtle one very humid hide. The humdity inside of it is usually around 80% (higher if i have just watered it). He has another hide that is more open and is usually only a bit higher than the tank. His entire enclosure is normally around 50% humidity. He also has a layer of moss that is kept most (the very top usually dries and under stay moist with regular watering). He buries in that as well on occasion. The humidity does vary depending on when I last watered his tank. With the moss it will hold 50% humidity for a couple days before I need to water it again. Inside the hide I don't have to water it that often. The humid hide is also the warmest, being right under the heat lamps. He usually goes there after he has eaten. He also sleeps there (the heat lights turn off at night though). I can usually tell by his behavior alone if I need to add more water. If he is sitting in his water dish a lot then the humidity has usually dropped in his hide. [ Hide Replies ]
