I have 4 digital sensors which are placed around the enclosure and appear to be relatively close to each other in terms of their readings so I think it will be fine

So over the recent weekend I moved my 18 month old ish RF into his new 5ft x 3ft enclosure. It's a Pro-plast plastic vivarium from pro-vivs here in the UK. Seems to be holding temp and humidity with ease, 27 - 29 degrees Celsius, 80 - 85% humidity. I have done some landscaping, he / she seems...

Hello. Just planning a new enclosure for my red foot. I have gone with a 5x3ft plastic vivarium from Pro-Vivs. I really don't want to use screws or cable clips for lights etc. inside the enclosure as this would break the seal and let moisture in. Can anyone recommend any alternatives?

Sheldon. We think about 18 months old. Loves to dig and is one dirty tort

I appreciate your reply but with a Red foot needing high humidity then I want something that is going to last a good few years so it would need to be fully sealed

Red foot. I was thinking L:5ft x W:3ft x H:2ft

Hello, following on from a discussion in another thread I thought it best to start my own. I'm looking at a new enclosure for my 18 month old RF. Unfortunately due to current size restrictions I am limited to a 5ft x 3ft but I would like to get peoples opinions on either...

So you paint all the interior and put pond liner in? Is there a clear colour version of the paint?

Could you not just use pond liner? If you do use the paint then do you paint all the inside or just to the level of the substrate?

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly but on the subject of your 4x6 viv. Did you buy this or make it yourself? How tall is it?

Hi Jane, I too am in the UK, Manchester to be precise. I just wanted to share my experiences with you from last year. Like you after doing lots of research and buying the setup, I took what I was told was a healthy 6 month old "cherry head" from a reptile pet shop not too far from me. At first...

Appreciate the responses. The product I used is specific for reptiles distributed here in the UK by Habistat. I followed the instructions very carefully and ensured the viv was fully rinsed with water and dried before he went back in. I have also changed his substrate. The question is about...

hello Unfortunately today we lost one of our beautiful cherry heads, he was not himself last week so we got him to the vets and he wasn't get better so we took the decision to have him put to sleep. The vet couldn't give a definitive diagnosis but all signs / symptoms point to a viral...

Just to post an update. I found these in his food dish. The dish had only been a couple of hours. Any idea what they are?

I can get hold of some tropical woodlice but do they only eat plant matter as I was looking at something that will eat the insects

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I am in the UK. Is a pill bug the same as a woodlouse?

I have searched the site but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I have a cherry rf enclosure. It has been up and running for 5 weeks now. The enclosure is a vivarium with a coco fibre and bark substrate with moss carpet in places, I have a few wooden hides and a few plants. Temps and...

His buddy is another cherry that we got at the same time. They are the same age and I haven't seen any signs of fighting. I will be getting him to the vet but here in the Manchester uk, there aren't that many around so was just asking for thoughts but will be taking him to the vets.

Our cherry head has a swollen neck and as you can see from the picture we think he has cut himself. We also noticed yesterday he was struggling to open one of his eyes but it seems ok today. Him and his buddy are in a 3ft vivarium with coconut fibre / bark substrate, with moss as a bedding...

Hello from Manchester UK. Last Saturday I took two little cherry head red foots from a local reptile store. They are apparently 5 month old. I have let them settle in for a week and so far so good, they are eating well, so far their favourite has been mushroom but I am alternating their diet...
