This afternoon I ordered a redfoot hatchling from Tortoise Supply after reading great reviews on here & I couldn’t be more excited! The little guy should ship out tomorrow night and arrive Tuesday morning.
I just finished setting up the enclosure and I love how it turned out! I converted a 55g aquarium to a closed chamber to house him over the winter and am excited to work on a nice outside enclosure for summer (at least for daytimes).
Substrate is coconut coir, plants are all fake from Hobby Lobby. Instead of a humid hide in a box I’ve stuffed wet sphagnum moss under the plant cover in the right half of the enclosure. Thermostat set to 88 right under the CHE and humidity has been sitting in the 90s (readings are off in pics bc I’d had the lid off working on the inside). Please ignore dirty walls as I still need to wipe those down.
Can’t wait to post pics of the little guy in a couple of days!
