Since turn out that my red foot are a pair, I would ask if you could give me same information in order to enhance my chances of success, for e example should I change alimentation or day night cycle? I haven't still seen a coupling is there something that I could do?
Incubator is already on now I have 29-30 °C and 85-90% humidity is that ok?

You could be waiting a while. From what I've seen of yours they are only just hitting maturity. Have you seen the male following the female yet. If I was you I would try and get another female and add it to your pair.

All of my experience has been keeping Redfoot outdoors.
They mate here and there.
But what seems to really get the males in the mood is a rain storm.
In fact they are very frisky all through the raining season.
Is your pair ever outdoors? It would enable you to use a sprinkler head on a hose to make it rain.
I would not try to initiate mating with a pair in an indoor enclosure unless it's HUGE. Because a lot of males will Perdue a single female relentlessly 24/7 once he becomes sexually active. Pairs do not do well. It's best with one male and 2 or 3 or more females.
Please keep this in mind.

I ve also a female yellow head I think that the 3 eggs that I've found in the internal enclosure belongs to her, in order to keep a pure line I've planned to separe them and to take a yellow head male to have 2 pair, but since in Italy is impossible to find a adult female cherry I think that I keep the trio together.
Otherwise now they are in the external enclosure and it's rainy this day so I'll wait
