    Red Footed - Shell Indents, Head Scales Shedding?

    Thank you ZERO. He’s doing all those things normally. I have the mist king going as a bare minimum, I’ve been adding water as much as I can… I can’t believe how much it takes to keep the humidity up that high….

    I can’t screw a picture up, I’ve got the 80-85 temp range, and 80% humidity :) Probe and CHE will keep at 82f daytime and 80f night time.

    Great replies, thank you everyone. I’m so used to lizards and snakes, this really is a new obstacle for me. By 50 to 70 I meant that I currently observe averages of 50, but trying to get it up to 70. Thank you for helping me to increase the target to 80-85 in terms of humidity. That light is...

    Absolutely don’t want pyramiding :( Currently have him in a 36 x 18 x 18 exo terra with front opening doors, I am struggling to get the humidity fro 50 to 70 average. I’ve added a bunch of sphagnum moss to help, but I probably need to get the UVB/heat source inside so I can close off the top...
