Russians like it dry. They should be outside if possible. Tortoises' do not like cages, they will constantly roam and are very unhappy with a small cage. If you need humidity try a shallow plate with pebbles and water. Rinse the rocks daily.

Why do you want to increase the humidity? I noticed from a previous question that you also want to lower the temperature to the mid 80's F. That's below the optimum basking temperature for a Russian and having that combined with increased humidity is really inviting health problems like respiratory infections.

*humidity.
Spray the enclosure down a lot. Mist almost constantly. Cover the top partly up with a blanket or cloth. Keep it warm inside though. Don't let it get too hot however. Good Luck.

Moisten the mulch. Put an airstone in the water dish. Cover the enclosure.
