I have recently got Henry, my 12 month old horsfienlds torty, should i spray his indoor enclosure like i do for Wilma, the hermanns?? I am asking as i know the horsfienlds are sensitive to humidity.

I spray mine not daily but every now and again - otherwise gets very dry and dusty - I was told that a horsfield would be ok with warm and moist - its cold and damp that would be a problem - besides a spray doesn't make it wet for too long under the heat of the lamps

I was told to spray the enclosure alternate days, before the light comes on, i'm afraid it doesn't get done that early, as the lights come on at 7am, (& i'm retired) but i do it first thing as i get up.
