Hello, I finally brought my red foot tortoise home yesterday. But I'm having some questions and concerns .
I'm in the process of building him an enclosure.
Currently for the time being, he's in a 75 gallon tank with half orchid bark and half jungle mix mixed with sphagnum moss. I have a mesh top on it currently. I have a 5.0 UVB florescent bulb, a daytime heat lamp and an infrared bulb on him. The tank won't heat up past 75. And the humidity won't stay past 70. I know they have to be in the 85 temps and 85% humidity. What can I do to keep this in?? ):
Also. He ate some greens last night but today he hasn't touched his veggies and he's hiding in his little hut .
I want to do everything right so please help.
