    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Thank you very much! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a sign of illness necessarily or anything :)

    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Oh, I didn't mean to imply that is all I'm feeding him! That's just the only one he actually ate a decent amount of. In the week we've had him we've tried a number of different greens, fruits, as well as the pellets the breeder recommended. He just really seemed to like the collared greens...

    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Haha don't worry, I worked in upper management for years for Walmart, it's takes a LOT for me to get discouraged.

    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Oh and I am very familiar with an closed enclosure! My cement mixing tub is basically enclosed as it has a greenhouse built over it. Ever since doing that, my humidity levels have stayed 85%-99%. I test his temps constantly and it's usually around 82-85 degrees. I live in a upstairs apartment in...

    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Thanks for the advice. The cement mixing tub is set up as a nursery (and future quarantine) while my husband is currently working on a massive permanent enclosure. The basking area is very small. Based on all of the research I've done, my temp and humidity is pretty perfect. If not, what are...

    Redfoot hiding all day?

    Hello everyone! Quick question...is it normal for a redfoot hatchling to hide constantly? He NEVER leaves his hide unless I get him out for his soak and food. We've only had him for 6 days, so I'm sure part of it is that he's scared still... His enclosure is kept between 80-82 degrees, with a...

    So many lighting choices!!!!

    Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well this evening! I have a quick question about lighting...specifically UVB lighting. Our little redfoot hatchling is still acclimating to his new environment, and it's currently been interesting trying to fix all of the little mistakes we made due to...

    Hello!

    Thanks for calming my fears a little about his not eating! His enclosure isn't completely finished yet, as we got the notice that he was arriving a few days earlier than we anticipated, but I'll include pictures so you can let me know if something isn't quite right! I currently have plastic...

    Hello!

    Hello everyone! After extensive research (and a lot of begging from my husband and children) I recently purchased a red footed hatchling from a private breeder. I'm so excited for this new experience, and I can't wait to watch him grow! A little about myself, my name is Anelise and I am a 29...
