Hi friends, i'm from China, i bought a red foot baby a week ago, there is no tortoise forum in China(It is illegal to keep tortoises unless have a license, i just got my license), so i find this forum, there are many experts. I have some questions for my RF baby:
1. Humidity: i live in mid-north of China, is semi-arid climate, humidity is 20-40% a whole year, i use a litte tank(85cm x 50cm x 50cm) to keep the humidity 70%-80%, is nearly airtight, whenever i open the roof, humidity drop. And this tank is too small(picture 1), so i prepare a corner in my room(2.5m x 1m x 2m, picture 2), i can make a enclosure, the problem is difficult to make the enclosure airtight, so difficult to keep the humidify, im going to use a humidifier, but someone told me, humidifier can cause pneumonia. I have no idea, is humidifier safe? And im going to put some live plant in enclosure, which plant is safe for RF?
2. Red foot types and age: i wonder my RF baby type and age, 'he' looks like Suriname(plastron is nearly all yellow picture 3 and 4), but im not sure,.'He' is 6.5cm and 55 grammes, someone can give me some ideas?
