Russians and Humidity

MattJJ Aug 09, 2004 08:01 PM

I just moved to south Florida and have set up a cage for my Russians in a non-AC area. Has anyone experienced problems with keeping Russians in high humidity? If so what happened?

And it is harder to get more humid than this. My two groups of Russians reside in outdoor raised bed (sand/soil) planted pens. Not only is the humidity very high but showers are frequent and downpours are heavy. They are breeding and thriving. Both groups have dry houses available and they use them. Humidity and cold temps are another story. I will hibernate both groups when weather begins to chill down. Russians are tough guys. But, oh so much satisfaction and fun to keep. I have two eggs due to hatch in a couple weeks and that also adds to the rewards of keeping them.
