Hi everyone!
I have an approximately 9 month old redfoot and am wanting to upgrade his enclosure. He's growing like a champ and his current enclosure is getting on the small side. I am planning on going ahead and building a tortoise table but want to make sure that the climate is good for his age.
Right now his enclosure is temperature controlled at around 80-85 and the humidity is above 70%. Does his new enclosure need to have the same climate or is he old enough to start creating more of a temperature gradient and lower humidity? I looked around and can't really find anything on when to stop treating them like fragile hatchlings. Please help!
