Hi everyone!
I’m new to the forum! And has been lift saver for last month in preparing myself for when I got myself a Redfoot! I’ve had the little guy for just over a week and I wanted some advice?
I brought Steve (maybe stevie) not sure if girl or boy…. Just over a week ago I exspected first couple days bit shy didn’t come out to have food unless helped but after Steve got over those few days been fine see his routine wake up, eat, bathe and sleep and repeat and has got appetite! But 2nd time I’ve gave him a bath first time my husband did I noticed his shell underneath is a bit soft and I do apologise now question had proberbly been asked loads! Wernt sure if it’s calcium deficiency or shell fungi/rot? Or him being very young? As lady said he’s 2021 hatching but again pet store prob not 100% sure.I got Steve from a pet store in the uk I’ll attach a pic the first one of his enclosure I noticed lights were very high up and the ground looked slightly damp. My enclosure is 4ft by 3ft and about 1/12 foot high I know when he grows I will have to get a bigger one his enclosure he had coco soil mixed with forest coco bark and moss here and there with t5 light and basking heat lamp his humidity is between 80-85% and temps in heat spot 30-31c will attach pics of my little guys and I’m sorry again for the essay! 🫣 Thankyou so much again in advance!
