Redfoot enclosure question

[mattgrizzlybear]

Hi, I was wondering how my setup for my baby redfoot is. It has sphagnum moss [mosser lee] for the substrate and a 6 in. plastic pot with a slate of rock for a food dish and a big plastic cap for a water bowl. Thanks!

What is the lighting / heating situation? Temps (ambient daytime/nighttime, basking spot, cool spot)?

They are a 18" zilla T8 floresent fixture [UVB] and a 100w CHE.

The CHE will stay on 24/7 with a thermostat that will be set for 85 degrees

Pictures would help us provide a good assessment.

I changed the uvb light to a repti glo 5.0 18"

That's a better bulb.

Sounds like your enclosure is pretty close to mine, at least in terms of lighting/heating and temps. Check out the thread in my signature for how mine are set-up.

What size is the water bowl? I use terra cotta plant dishs with my RFs (about 1.5 x the shell length and deep enough to come the intersection of carapace and pastrum). The water will slowly leach out into substrat helping with humidity.

its almost 6" across and 1/4" deep, where can you get the plant dish

Plant saucers are sold anywhere plant pots are- they are just clay or plastic dishes to set plants on. They usually make good water/soak dishes.
