hello all!
I just set up Lucy’s new habitat she is a redfoot. It’s a nice new wooden tortoise house. she was in a glass tank in my classroom as she is a class pet. I am trying to get her temperature and humidity under control. I just ordered her a fogger to help with humidity too.
Lucy is 10 years old and used to live with another family that did not care for her properly. She was in a 10 gallon tank her whole life until she came to me a little under a year ago. She was pyramiding, I quickly got her the proper light and heat. I had her in a 65 gallon glass tank for almost a year now, but I just bought her a new wooden tortoise house.
What is the ideal temperature for the wire side of her tank? And the opposite hiding side? Her temperature was reading 88 degrees Fahrenheit ..is that too hot? I put the gauge near the light. I’ve attached pictures to show what I mean - I’m wondering what is too hot for her? I am not there 100% of the time, but go in daily for her. I soak her 3x a week. Can you give me any advice on heat and humidity?
