So after getting some recommendations based on a previous post and making changes to the enclosure, I feel like it's a mess. I am unemployed and trying to do the best with what I have to house my redfoot torts. I know glass enclosures are the least desirable, but unfortunately that is what I have and i don't have the means to make a new enclosure. I do take them outside for supervised outdoors time as much as I can to try and compensate, but their outdoors time only consists of a substrate lined box, as my apartment doesn't have a safe grassy area for them to roam.... and it's cold out so they aren't getting a lot of time outside.
I have multiple temp gauges to make sure they don't get overheated, and multiple humidity gauges. The tank is partially covered, not shown in the pics. I have: humidifier, CHE with temp controller, basking bulb, substrate is cypress mulch and sphagnum moss. Prior to making these changes the temp gradient was 75-90 F, humidity gradient 60-80 percent. With the changes as shown in pics and the new cover I'm hoping to have better control of temp and humidity.
Any suggestions so I can better keep the humidity up and make the tank a little more clean? As soon as I start working again and move my number one priority is to build an indoor and outdoor enclosure, but as of right now I'm limited to what I have.
Thanks y'all
