Is it appropriate to keep hatchlings of whatever breed on moist sphagnum moss for awhile???? I here that even for animals like Sulcattas that as hatchlings they need higher humidity.

I am new so please go easy on me :)

Its a good idea to provide a place where they can have a higher humidity. If it were me, I would place the moist sphagnum moss inside their hiding place, and not all over the whole habitat.


Oh, and...

Thanks Yvonne. I am getting a pair of redfoots (or is it redfeet :) ) from Terry K. In a few weeks and the bug has already bitten me. I have already decided I'd like to get a Mini-TOrt Breed as well.

I am stoked about my new redfoots coming.
