I would like to start by saying that I am new to torts and have not purchased a red foot quite yet but am planning on one soon. I live in Minnesota (temp and humidity are a factor) and don't quite understand the problem with using an aquarium for little ones. I have read a lot of threads saying cover and trap humidity. That being said why not a large glass tank (as long as sides are covered to block the torts view of outside the tank? Also we have a reptile fair this weekend should I look there or go to local shop "twin cities reptile" to purchase one? I just want what's best for the animal. We do have a large yard that I will build a secure in closure in once it's big enough and its warm enough outside this summer.
