    Baby Red Foot not pooping

    Yeah Thank You, I’m just assuming he poops in his enclosure because other than that he seems pretty normal.

    Baby Red Foot not pooping

    I’ve had my Hatchling a little under two weeks. I give him daily soaks ( twice a day for about 20 minutes each time ) I feed him 5 days a week but he doesn’t eat much, a couple chomps here and there. His humidity is good in the mid 80’s and I have a basking side that hits around 90’s and the...

    Thermostat for CHE

    Does anyone know where I could get a thermostat for the CHE for cheap ? I saw one on chewy.com that’s about $25? Is that a good price or does anyone have a link to someplace that has it cheaper ?

    Substrate feels a bit cold and damp

    Oh okay thank you so much ! I’m a Senior in High School and well due to the coronavirus pandemic and school being shut down I have lots of time on my hands. I’ve spent my time checking up on my tortoise. He still has yet to eat. I’ve tried giving him different leafy greens, bananas, and...

    Substrate feels a bit cold and damp

    Yeah that’s very true thanks ! I have read the care sheets for I can stay informed. The only real problem is some people say compact uvb are bad but other say they don’t damage baby torts eyes. I have a compact so I try to keep it in the corner of the enclosure and I also take out my tort...

    Substrate feels a bit cold and damp

    Okay Thank You, I just wasn’t sure if that was the best thing to do or if there was a better way. I’m gonna try to get a closed chamber asap. Would you know if using a heavy shower curtain would be ideal ? I heard it could work well for sealing in the humidity. There’s just so many posts on this...

    Substrate feels a bit cold and damp

    I have a baby red foot ( just got it two days ago ) and I do have a CHE and a UVB light. The CHE is on one side of the enclosure and it gets to about 90 degrees. The middle of the enclosure is also fairly warm with about 80 degrees, but the problem is the far ( dark/cold side ) it’s about 75...

    Baby Red Foot won’t eat

    I was also wondering if I could put a damp towel over 2/3 of the enclosure to keep in humidity ? I read that some people use this and it works perfect but I was just wondering if you have had any experience with it ?

    Baby Red Foot won’t eat

    Yup, Ima try to do that asap. I’ve noticed the cypress mulch I use which is for its bedding feels damp and I’m not sure if that’s just the humidity or if it’s a tad too much misting

    Baby Red Foot won’t eat

    The humidity might be a tad bit lower than the 80% I need, but I’ve tried to make that up by misting his cage and him twice a day and having a humid hut that has orchid moss. If that’s not enough I’ll be sure to get plexiglass or some type of cover to try to make a closed chamber.

    Baby Red Foot won’t eat

    Oh okay I understand, it’s just a lot of the forums I’ve read here say that the baby Red foots need to be bathed like twice a day for about 15 minutes atleast. I’ll try to grab his less frequently for he can settle in.

    Baby Red Foot won’t eat

    my baby red foot arrived yesterday from CB reptiles. I live in California so the humidity isn’t that high and I try to raise its humidity with misting and using Cypress mulch. I have a humid hide that contains orchid moss. I’ve soaked my tortoise twice today and twice yesterday in warm water. It...
