New baby yellowfoot

[bannana]

I'm so happy I finally got a tort I decided to call him banana. He really enjoys climbing but sometimes he falls on his luckily I am there to help! To stop this I put plates by his log so he won't flip on his back. I would really appreciate some advice on how to keep my tort happy and healthy!

Clever idea with the plates!

Welcome to the Forum, Bannana!

I think you should move your temp/humidity gauge down more towards the floor of the habitat. Have you moistened the substrate?

Cute little tortoise. I love the YF tortoise.

You can follow the same instructions that we have for the redfooted tortoises, and there's a bunch of good reading here at the Tortoise Library

hello and welcome.

I have done what you suggested and lowered the gauge and yes I have sprayed the substrate it is nice and moist!

Hello and welcome...your temps. And humidity are far too low. They need to be increased. Humidity needs to be no power then 80% and temps no lower then 90*.

Ok I can raise the humidity to 80 with my humidifier but how should I raise the temp?

Probably invest in a CHE. PS you should post more pics of banana!!

Che sounds like a good idea I will try to run to the store this weekend and get one! Thanks
