So I have my one year & 3 month old redfoot just recently moved in with my two new hatchlings from this spring (4 months).
the two new babies seem to be doing fine. Hiding as usual, active while eating.
But.. the yearling is constantly sitting in the water dish.
The temps near the hide/ dark area are 78-82
Middle of the tank gets to 90-92
Food/ water area of tank is 86-88
it’s a long tank, maybe that’s the problem? Any tips would make me feel so much better! The yearling is my first egg I’ve ever hatched after getting my Tortoises when I was in highschool as babies. His name is Aegon. I hope he’s okay. Here’s a pic of the setup attached.
p.s. normally the tank is covered with a blanket to help keep humidity in. Humidity stays constant between 70-80 with misting @AM , noon, night.
Thanks in advance
