Hello All. I've just received my first red foot. He/She is around 11cm in length, around 1 year old according to the seller. I'm keeping it outdoor
I have question regarding substrate. I live in a tropical country and the temp is around 27-32 C. As I understand, this is perfect for RF. My concern however is humidity. Right now I have top soil mixed with coco coir and mist/spray them occasionally. This does keep humidity up but I'm concern of "over-misting" and shell rot, because the surface is almost always wet/damp when I do this. I read by adding cypress mulch on top, I can still maintain humidity while not keeping the surface wet all the the time. Is this the correct way to go?
