Can you explain how you did this (or show a better picture of it in the enclosure?) This might be something to try on my end too.

Do you cook them or feed them raw?

My Redfoot has started to make a strange clacking sound as well around the same time you posted so I have been following :).

What are your temperatures in different areas than? For some reason, I was thinking it had to be the same everywhere in every single spot in the enclosure.

I have a similar set up, less nice of course..I have to CHE in there, but the temperature is all over the place. 102 in one area, 85 in another, 78 in the hide, etc... is that normal?

Rio´s enclosure is now twice as big BUT I cannot get the humidity up. It is only around 40%, I put water in the corners to help but nothing. Temperatures are around 80-90F depending on where in the enclosure. 2 CHEs, the same UVB bulb (turns on from 11-1), and an additional regular bulb for...

Rio relaxing... yes, he has lots of pyramiding going on. We got him with MBD (diagnosed by a vet) around 1 or 2 years ago. He weighed 100g when we got him, he is now up to 750g :-)

What would the marbling indicate?

Rio´s latest weight is around 400g now, and he has grown around half an inch since July last year.

Will keep an eye out! we have something in our pond, but its not exactly working too well :-)

I just saw this post, are you able to provide a link or specific name for this aerator pump? Thank you!

Rio has gained 3.5oz since the end of July and now weighs 11oz,; so 310g. Is this a good weight gain or too slow/fast? He is 5 years old....

Got it, still a work in progress :) Will figure out how to extend it in the very near future. I just turned on the new UVB Lighting..that is BRIGHT. He definitely needs more shade...

Understood, he is less than 5inch though and weighs only 260g. I don't think he is anywhere close to what he really should be at 5 years of age at the moment? Based on that, do you still think this is too small for now?

Rio, a cherry head red foot, just moved into his new house over the weekend. The enclosure is 4x2. There is a CHE for heat which is on a thermostat to ensure no less than 80F at all times. The temperature has been 80-86F at all times so far. The humidity on one end has been around 83%, on the...
