They are an excellent option. Think I am going with 120x60x180cm. The only drawback is not being able to see your tortoise all the time but think she will prefer that ?. Thank you all for your help ?
Maeve is 7and half inches long and growing fast. She is in a vivarium 2feet by 4feet the largest I could find. Know she needs more space, any ideas? I am in the UK so outside is not an option. Inside I still need to control temp and humidity. Looked at rehoming but very worried that she won’t...
I have a redfoot who is 2 and a half years old. She is currently in a vivarium 4ft by 2ft. It is kept at 80 degrees with humidity at 80 and has a uvb light. I live in the uk and apart from going outside for a few hours in the summer, she lives indoors. Should I rehome her for her sake and If so...
I have a redfoot Maeve. I have had her since March last year and learnt a lot already! She is just over 2 and her shell is about 15 cm long. She is in a 4ft vivarium. I bought the largest vivarium in the shop and was told it would be okay until she is about 4. I’m not convinced. I have a large...
I’ve had her since 17th February. She was not at the right humidity but is now and I’ve reduced the temperature from 95 to 80-85. I’ve been soaking her daily. The shop I bought her from said 95 and spray enclosure twice a day. She had a basking light which I replaced with a che and added a...

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.
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...
I have a 7month old redfoot and was told to keep her at 95 degrees but read on this forum 80-84. Can anyone help me. Also whilst I was soaking her she had an unformed poo with undigested mealworms in it :(. I only give her the occasional one but think I should stop? She has dandelion leaves...
