Humidity: Why it is important for tortoises | happytortoises

Today's video is part 1 of 5 different videos I have prepared for you on Humidity. This is an important topic so I decided to split this down into smaller videos so that you can easily find them at a later date if you want to come back to them PLUS I have so much I wanted to cover and I didn't want to hit you with all that information in one video!
So, the humidity videos I have for you are:
1) (this one) Why humidity is important for Tortoises (it also covers What is humidity?; Measuring Humidity; Hygrometers;)
2) What are the suitable humidity ranges for the most commonly kept tortoise species - coming soon!
3) Ways to increase/maintain humidity - coming soon!
4) Humidity experiments and results - coming soon!
5) How to build a simple closed chamber for those of you who are interested in this method - coming soon!
I hope you enjoy the video and as always, please post any questions, feedback, other tips you have & video suggestions in the comments below!
Thanks so much to all of you that have taken the time to post feedback, questions, video ideas and lovely comments - I really appreciate the support and motivation you have given me to keep making these videos! THANK-YOU ALL!!

Your so precise on every topic so far. I have truly enjoyed all of the videos. The accent is just an extra bonus. The word “topic” is by far my favorite.😂❤️

Finally! great explanation on humidity on tortoise!

[@romeoserback]

A great informative video. I only suggest the following because some of your viewers are from the United States and would understand Fahrenheit as opposed to Celsius.

Hi. Can I keep tortoise in Dubai balcony. In proper enclosure and bedding ..good hiding place ..

[@MrFuturehistory]

I have 2 questions for 9:38
What is that material you were moving aside to put your hand in? It looks like a clear/transparent door?
Also, It looks like you're using some type of reflecting silver material for insulation? What do you use? (I'm looking to build a large, closed enclosure for my leopard so I've been looking for ideas for insulation for the top half of the walls and the ceiling.)
Thanks

[@happytortoises]

The plastic strips are "PVC Door Strip/Curtain". I measured and cut these into the right lengths for the doorways - overlapping each other to help keep heat in. I have another video on 'adult leopard tortoise indoor enclosure design ideas' that may help with ideas for your enclosure. I was planning on doing a video on the materials used in my adult tortoise shed for those who are interested in this?
For insulation I use the thick insulation boards (e.g. celotex) with silver insulation tape.
