Newbie looking for opinions on my Redfoot enclosure!

You can make a Fogger easily to add humidity... But like they said you need some sort of cover trap in humidity. View attachment 124904View attachment 124905

Thanks for the pics! I'm actually going to get a humidifier this morning! Did you just saw off the tip of the humidifier? I couldn't really tell what you were doing in that pic.

Yes we had to sign off the tip but go get the tubing first to see what fits.

Thanks for all of your advice! I have a much more tropical set up for now (since we're in spring break) and will fix my one at school once we go back. I got a humidifier but haven't used it yet because just adding top soil under the other substrates, adding a CHE, and covering the enclosure has gotten us to 88 degrees and around 75% humidity. I'm going to play with moving around the heat source and sealing the cover on three sides before using it.

She is more active today than she has been in the past 3 weeks! She's freely drinking water, eating, and hasn't napped yet.

Hi April. Welcome. You have come a long way already with this tort.
I think you have shown your students that listening makes you wiser and more intelligent. lol
You should show them this thread.

Here's the updated enclosure at school. I tried to use just the one CHE but it wasn't enough to keep the area warm enough so I added the infrared bulb as well, and she really loves that area!
