Hi there
Seeking some urgent help.
We have just purchased a baby Redfoot today. I’m looking to buy the new equipment tomorrow, as I’ve already learnt the pet store has sold me a few bad items. I live in the UK.<br /><br />I was hoping to get some help from you.<br /><br />I have a vivarium with ventilation slots at the rear and can feed through any cables. <br /><br />Currently I have:<br />Heat mat<br />Bark chip<br />Hideaway<br />UVB light<br />Red basking lamp<br /><br />Following forum advice I’m looking to change the following: <br /><br />Change heat mat for CHE with thermostat and thermometer like this:<br /><br />https://www.reptilecentre.com/prorep-ceramic-heater-emitter-100w_p31486193.htm<br /><br />https://www.reptilecentre.com/microclimate-dimmer-b1-thermostat-black-600w_p31515863.htm <br />Or<br /><br />https://www.reptilecentre.com/zoo-med-hygrotherm-humidity-&amp;amp;-temperature-controller_p31232543.htm<br /><br /><br />Will stop using the red basking lamp as I’ve been told it’s not required for Redfoots.<br /><br />With the new equipment can I ask:<br />Where should I position the CHE? On ceiling? And front back or centre?<br /><br />Where should I position the UVB? At the moment it’s at the rear ceiling of the vivarium. Can I put it right at the front on ceiling? I’m thinking this way it doesn’t shine in my eyes either when I look in.<br />(Side issue: do these lights give off radiation and is it safe for kids to put hand into vivarium when the light is on?)<br /><br />Really sorry to bombard you with questions. Just trying my best for our new Redfoot [emoji4]and I have little clue (you probably guessed that). My daughter chose the pet lol<br /><br />Thanks in advance! And hugely appreciate your advice.
