Been lurking the forum a while, and the juvenile enclosure is completed and ready to share.
We're currently working on building out his outdoor enclosure, running pipes for misting system, and getting ready to plant so things can get established before he moves in next summer.
Then work will begin on a new, larger indoor enclosure for the seasons he can't be outside.

Favorite foods include papaya, rose petals, and canned snails.

Cute tort! I love the first pic where he's just staring you out for taking a picture!

Those combo gauges never worked right for me! But just looking at that handsome torts shows that you got the heat humidity combo just right!

I want to get a digital gauge for humidity, I have one for heat on the warm side that runs a dimmer/thermostat. I've got a few analog heat gauges and they're all a little off but close enough to each other that I feel OK about the heat.

Thanks for the compliment on the tort! He's still new and pretty shy, but is getting out of his hide a but more.

Hello and welcome.
Everything looks very good including the readings on those horrible gauges.
I recommend buying one of these digital dual gauges. (Already mentioned)
They're about $10 and most stores with a garden department has them.
This one is more than 7 years old and still has its original battery!
These are much more accurate also.

Got the digital humidity gauge, giving me the same reading as the analog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My Redfoot is still in "hide constantly" mode as he's only been home for less than a week.

I just got one last month of amazon and it already died. Lots of reviews say the same thing about it I think maybe the manufacturer changed. ?

Boy. I'm very surprised.
I actually own 2 others. They're somewhere in a box. But I'll bet they're still working too.
And the one was inside a very wet closed chamber for months.

Nice price. That's for sure
