Hey guys,
Long time no post from me but I have a question... Viva, my redfoot, is developing shell rot again. She lives in a green house currently and the humidity, temps, and lighting are great but since there is high humidity in the greenhouse her substate (coconut fiber with cypress mulch on top of half) becomes damp pretty fast. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep one area always dry? I was thinking of finding and putting a rubber mat down where she sleeps but I am nervous it would melt or become too hot for her under the mercury vapor bulb. Maybe a big terra-cotta dish??? She hates sleeping in her humid hide and ONLY sleeps next to this fake plant we got when she was much smaller (don't worry she has never tried to eat the fake plant). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!!!
