Wondering if this might be a nice upgrade for my red foot as he is getting bigger. This has the 3 floors and seems to have good reviews. I have a similar one (more basic 1 floor-pic 2) for my Russian and she does great in it. Debating on just getting my red foot the same one or this more fancy one. Thoughts?

I think these are way too small for a redfoot, and are uncapable for holding the humidity well. ./

Hello!
These two options arent't well suited for redfoots. It's hard to keep humidity high enough and provide consistent temperature. Also redfoots grow much larger than Russians and "won't fit" nicely in these.

More future-proof option is a PVC enclosure, however I haven't seen properly sized (and sane priced) ones in UK.

Portable greenhouses or large hydroponic tents might work better. Adult redfoots need something close to 64 sq.ft indoor enclosures (two-level is possible, but should be spacious enough anyway).

Yes the humidity was definitely a concern I had for this. He is just about 2 years old now so trying to give him the room he needs as he's growing and awake more to romp around. Ok I'll look into the PVC/greenhouse options, thank you I appreciate it!

Hi and welcome...This is Logan he just turned 3...he lives in a room in my home in a small greenhouse installed over a wooden 6'x2.5' tortoise table..DSCN1340.JPG
I realize the carpet is ruined, but I had no clue that this greenhouse created so much humidity, it ran out onto the floor...but pool noodles (the pink thing) collect the water now...
DSCN1708.JPGPVC pipe type stuff is the skeleton...DSCN0957.JPG.The humidity runs between 85% and 95% without any trouble...there's a che at one end and a chick brooder panel at the other. See the humidity...

Logan is very active and spends his day tearing apart all the rocks and decorations I put in there...this is the brooder panel...DSCN1711.JPG
I put exotic plants and other stuff to keep him entertained as he is very active...DSCN1710.JPGplz continue to ask questions...you will get the correct answers here...DSCN1713.JPG
