Ok I was soaking taffy the other day and my daughter notice taffy leaked out a yellow liquid? Are his suppose to be wet looking?

Ok I got it fully covered and humidity is at 75%

Taffy tends to want to climb all over the place, earlier I found standing on top of the hide staring out at us lol

Ok I'll take the food dish out. Is the cypress mulch good substrate? Taffy likes burrow into it and gets the shavings around his eyes! I got the humidity up to 60 %

Oh sorry I forgot I do soak him, how can I get the humidity up? I spray the substrate with water

i have baby red footed tortoise( taffy). I have him in a 10 gallon tank(for now). I have cypress mulch for his substrate, he has a hide spot, I have the top wrapped with foil to keep it sealed, I have the 80watt solar power sun for basking, I have 100 watt Che for nighttime heat, basking spot is...

Thanks everyone, it's been very hard on my family and I, we have baby red footed tortoise also but he is healthy as an ox,his name is taffy, idk if I want to start with another tortoise!

Well I have an update on my lil guy, he passed away last night, as I am taking this kinda hard because I considered the little guy like a part of the family, I'm glad he isn't suffering anymore, I am sure gonna miss the little guy, I'm kind of beating myself up because I feel I let him down!

Yes I am

I think my little guy has turned for the worse, I've got a basking light/uvb, with has the temp at like 95 to 100. The rest of tank is 85, I've soaked the substrate, at one point he was a little more active but the last day or so, he is alive but is very still almost lifeless. Idk what else I...

The basking spot thermostat reads like 112, is that good? The cool side reads around 85!

Ok I covered the top of cage with aluminum foil, cut a hole in the screen for the basking,heat and uvb light bulb. I also dampened the substrate, I put little man under the light, he laid there awhile and started moving and his eyes were actually open!

Ok, what do you guys think of the wire cage for the uvb bulb?

Here's what I bought, anything else I need?

Will this work? What else would I need?

Thank you everyone for the advice, I appreciate it a lot. I will definitely get the lighting stuff today!

Are talking about the light housing or just the bulb? What would you recommend to dampen the enclosure? I'm kinda new to this whole thing, I'm going on what the people at the pet place recommended!

I got the little guy in his morning soak at the movement, haven't really seen him really active, last night I took him out and put him on the desk and he let out a bunch of clear liquid!
