Ok I have the basic list of foods for our redfoot torts. What my question is we have this amazing garden and don't know what leaves they can eat. Bell Peppers, Beets, radish, Strawberrys, pumpkin, watermelon and cantaloupe leaves. We grow all our lettuce for them and us in a hydroponics system...
I have 2 redfoot torts about 2 years old. we run about 70% - 80% humidity 79-82 deg heat. they eat a well balanced diet. This morning when my wife went to feed them she noticed one of them whistle when they exhaled. I told here to stop spraying any moisture in the enclosure for the next few...
I left the air gap because I was not sure how much space there needs to be for fresh air. I can close it no problem. Also right now turtles are out and heat lamp is plugged into the outlet to see maximum heat i can get from the unit.
will post in about 30 minutes. I took the torts out and the...
Oh quite the contrary.. We had a fire about 2 years ago caused by the Ceramic heater (human error) but now everything is on VE-300 with alarms and auto shut off.
So to add a second heat source will run close to 200.00
Ok new enclosure is done day one and two they loved it, now not much movement so started checking temps and humidity. Humidity holds at 65% low to 75% high so that is good I noticed that the enclosure was cold. So up to this point had only the left side covered but figured losing heat so put...
Well it has been a little over a week and the new home is almost ready. Few more items coming but I think the move is planned for tomorrow. I added some more pictures and I do have a question on humidity. currently the large panel with the plants is covered with lexan and a hole cut in it for...
Thanks I read that the area under the heat should be upper 90's so is that wrong or was I not understanding the question?
So let me try again the temp right under the heater will be about 90 ish the rest will drop from there. Is that ok or should the spot under the heater also be 80's?
Hot side
R/F will be upper 90's in the hot side depending on temps might add a heat dusk on open end but right now ambient temp plus outcast heat from covered side
I asked this before and got no response. So here is the question 2/3rds of the enclosure is covered in lexan the Ceramic heat disc will be set in that area along with the mister. The other 1/3rd will be covered with vine and other items to slow the loss of humidity I need the heat to create the...
Let me ask this part again...
So here is the question I need the heat to create the humidity so do I put the hides in the warm humid side or the cool side?
Ok getting ready to put covers on the new enclosure along with heating and lighting. It will house 2 R/F in a 30" x 6' enclosure, 1/2 will be covered with lexan to create a humid area the other with wire mesh and vines attached to the underside to create a canopy and to help trap and slow the...
