I just recently got a baby red-foot tortoise last week, I’ve been doing thorough research on them but everywhere I go seems to lead me to different answers.
I have plenty of spaghnum moss in here for him I keep it wet as well as the substrate, but I’m reading some places that you don’t want the substrate wet do to shell rot?
This is the enclosure I keep him in, on the side with his hide humidity usually stays between 75-85% but where I have his lamps it seems to dry up very fast to 55-70% humidity depending on which corner. Just wondering how I can better keep humidity , I can’t close the tops due to some of my lamps needing to clamp on the side…
I also hear mixed things on the temperatures you want , I keep his feeding/play area 80-90 during day and his hide is usually 80 during day
At night I keep all temps above 75 with his hide (usually where he sleeps) being very high 70s or low 80s
If anyone could help me I would appreciate it a lot, I want what’s best for this little guy/gal
