There’s no light at night, just a heat emitter, what’s the ideal night time temp?
Ideally? The same 82°.
But down to 75 for an overnight will do no harm.
Redfoot can SURVIVE much lower overnight temperatures. But we're talking about IDEALLY.
Let's all strive for that.

If the moss is in the hides, then surely it can be accessed, if the hides are accessible, and surely they are?
The moss needs to go.
Just eating a small amount can have serious consequences and even death. It goes in, can't be digested and causes blockages

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. Going to put a dual mistking nozzle in there as well to maintain the 80% around the clock.

My daughter wanted a tortoise so she got to name it and she chose the name ‘Pickle’.

Pickle already seems to be thriving in the new heat and humidity, no more scratching at his head and it’s looking much more healthy. He’s much more active and outgoing already.

Thanks to all for the help.
