When raising a sulcata tortoise baby, it’s important to keep humidity levels in mind. In the wild, baby sulcatas live in a mostly humid burrow, coming out to eat and bask. Many long-term hobbyist and breeders believe the high humidity burrow helps keep the risk of pyramiding to a minimum.
In captivity, you can achieve the necessary humidity by creating a closed chamber enclosure. When setting up an indoor enclosure for a baby sulcata, consider using a humidifier fogger to the indoor enclosure in order to achieve proper humidity levels.
You’ll likely find many different types of reptile foggers on the market. Some are cute and shaped like decor, like a potted plant fogger machine. You may find small foggers like the Zoo Med Reptifogger. And you may find larger humidity foggers, like the Evergreen Foggers.
When shopping for a humidity fogger for indoor baby sulcata, make sure to consider your enclosure size, overall needs and the feature benefits of the fogger.
Evergreen Reptile Humidifier Fogger
This Evergreen Reptile Humidifier and Fogger holds two liters of water. It features a no-spill valve for easy filling, and it has a dry-run protection that shuts off the humidifier when the tank is empty.
Set the humidifier outside the enclosure and feed the 1.5 – 5 foot flexible, adjustable hose into the enclosure. Set the humidifier to your preferred fog output, up to 300 ml per hour, and your sulcata tortoise is set.
