If I hibernated my guys in a fridge, I wouldn't bother with adding humidity. A sealed environment would probably keep humidity at a constant level. Do you soak yours or otherwise check on them during hibernation?

In fact, I think I complicated the hibernation this year by keeping all four torts in a 7 sq ft box that's about 12 inches high. In past years I kept them in much smaller and shallower plastic tubs that had a perforated lid. By keeping them in a larger and very highly ventilated space, I think the animals dried out quickly.
