A few weeks ago we got a Brazilian Cherryhead red footed tortoise, but we are first timers and learning. It was born 6/3/2022. I bought a larger enclosure for it so it will last it a couple of years before we transition them outside. I have looked through threads for hours and figured it was time to ask for specific advice. Since the top is mesh we purchased plexi glass and cut it to fit the front half and then I put foil besides the lamps to try and retain heat and humidity/moisture. I have a sensor by the bulbs to keep the temp there at 92, and then I have a sensor on the opposite end that usually is around 80. Do you have any tips on how I can keep the temperatures higher in the “non-bulb” areas? And keep humidity higher and more consistent? Currently I spray down the enclosure morning and night and it usually keeps around 60% humidity in between.
