We bought a redfoot about 2 weeks ago and we finally got its enclosure setup. We were using the zoomed table with heat ropes and could barely get 75% humidity. With this setup I have no heatropes and humidity is at 80%-90% throughout the cage.

We had an aloe and a spiderplant in there also but they only lasted 2 days and she had ate them down to the roots!

Nice viv, only thing I would say is monitor how he copes with the lighting as it looks quite bright and some don't like this.

Where did you get that enclosure, or did you build it? I have been looking for something with front doors like that
