    Lots of weed and plant pics

    I have lots of weeds and plants in my garden, I've spent ages trying to work out which is which but once I'd got past dandelion I kind of hit a blank! If any of you have too much time on your hands and fancy naming these and if they are safe/edible for Redfoots I'd be most grateful. Some may...

    Outdoor enclosure for Redfoots?

    As it warms up I want to give my 4 Cherryhead hatchlings some time outdoors. They are hatchlings so need to be safe, I won't leave them out for long it's just to get some sun. Looking for any pictures people have of what they have done. My enclosed back garden is about quarter of an acre and...

    Humidifier hose and taps

    I'm looking into connecting up a humidifier to a simple 4 way tap system so fog can be sent to 1 or more of 4 areas at once. What I don't know is does the length of pipe and diameter on a humidifier make a difference? The taps I have found are for hose pipes, so the diameter is small. I...

    Temperature Gun

    I'm looking for one of the digital temperature guns you point at parts of the enclosure to get a reading, I've found them pretty cheap, but are they any good? It's not a bargain if it only lasts a month, but at the same time there is no point spending a load of money if I don't have to or if...

    Microclimate Evo Pro

    Has anyone used one? Not many reviews around, I guess as it's pretty expensive, I know Microclimate have a good reputation. I need a hygrostat and several thermostats so although this Evo is priced it actually doesn't work out much more than the price of a decent thermostat and hygrostat...

    Anyone used AcuLink wifi thermometer?

    Im looking for a good quality thermometer and hygrometer that can track the environmental conditions in an indoor enclosure and be accessible over wifi using an iPhone app. No, I don't really need it, but it would be useful and I love gadgets. I thought there would be loads of solutions, most...

    UV in a large enclosure

    I'm extending the enclosure for my 4 baby Cherryheads, it will be L shaped and 2 storeys, not an additional floor half way up it will be equivalent to two vivariums stacked. Annoyingly this means, I think, that I need 4 of everything - heat sources, thermostats, thermometers, lights, and so...

    Can Redfoots swim?

    Its a loaded question really, as the answer is definitely 'yes' - but I guess I'm not sure if they should! To soak my 4 baby Cherryheads I have a plastic tub, it's about 12" square, and I fill it maybe half an inch, then put the lid to the container on the floor and one edge of the container on...

    Thickness of wood for a vivarium

    I'm building an extension for my cherryhead vivarium, it will be fairly large and I want it to last. I'm just not entirely sure on the thickness of wood I should use. I want to get it thinner if possible, not to save money and cut corners but to save on weight, if it's too heavy it will be a...

    Cherryhead shell pigment

    I have a Cherryhead who has, it seems no pigment in most of her scutes. It's more noticeable when she's with her siblings, you guys would have spotted it at first glance though. Basically it looks like her colour has faded out. She was born like this, but what's strange is the middle...

    Tiny Redfoot Herd

    I was going to get 1, but thought two would be more fun. Of course you can't have pairs, it's 1, 3 or more, so I had to get a third. I was going to stop at 3, but what's just 1 more when you have at many.... So now there are 4.

    Where do Cherryheads originate from?

    i though this would be an easy question to answer and been searching for a few hours but nothing really coming up, I have read a bit that says Venezuela but not sure that's correct. Anyone know if there are specific areas where Cherryheads are from, or maybe are more prevalent?

    Been here a while but 'hi'

    Been reading the site a while, registered when a I knew I was getting some little Cherryheads and I've already been asking loads of questions. I was a little nervous getting them home, sure I would kill them, but a week later they are alive and seem to be doing well, and I collect number 3 this...

    How much weight gain is good and bad?

    There may not be a definitive answer, but what sort of weight gain are you looking for when you weigh a baby Redfoot? I thought I read that it should be slow and steady, but what is 'slow'? How much is too fast? How much of an impact can diet - quantity and quality - have on pyramiding? Or...

    Cherryhead enclosure and lots of questions

    Hi, I have been reading your wonderful forum for a month now and keep coming back for more. Lots of research done in other places too, but this is the only forum I felt I could post in asking questions as the other places all seem so judgemental. I know I'm getting things wrong and I want to...
