    20 months old redfoot habitat

    Humidity

    I had this trouble until I used sphagnum moss. It holds moisture. I mixed some with the substrate and some in her hide and my humidity went from 60% to 80+. I spray twice a day.

    New redfoot owner help needed

    How do I test for humidity? I spray her vivarium twice daily and soak her daily for 15-20 minutes. Do I need a hygrometer? If so any tips on which one to buy? She has an absorbable substrate and then bark on top as this is what I was advised when I bought her. I am also bothered about night...
