Thanks! Yes, I plan to use a pond liner for the bottom of the inside. It seems like a lot of people recommend the coco coir, maybe I will give that a try.
Hello from Maryland!
I am looking for some help with my new a new redfood enclosure that I am working on. Last week I decided to put my very basic carpentry skills to use and build Tank (my year old cherryhead) a new enclosure. His new enclosure is a 2 x 4 wood box. It still needs paint and has...
Thanks for the info! I will pick up some iodine and see if that starts to help. I was also thinking of changing the substrate to soil with the spang moss on top because I have trouble controlling the humidity. It seems that I have to continuously spray the substrate to keep the humidity levels...
Hi guys I'm hoping you can help me out. A while back I posted a question in the intro about my habit setup for my baby Cherry Head. I was struggling with the Humidity and lighting. I have since gotten the humidity to stay between 80-90% on most days and the temp is around 80-85 degrees. Recently...

I just want to start by saying thanks for the warm welcomes and great tips! Since I have been reading up on posts I have notices that my Red Foot appears to be pretty dry the last couple of days both on the top of his head and shell. There is just so much information out there, it's...
Thanks for the tip, I will def pick some up this evening as I had already planned on stopping by Home Depot! I would love to get some plants for Tanks habitat, are they fairly easy to maintain?
Hello All,
My girlfriend and I recently purchased a baby Cherry Head Red Foot, his name is Tank. Things have been going well so far and I have gotten many helpful tips from reading through post on this forum. I currently have him in an open 40 Gallon tank with a CHE and a UVB light. I bought...
