Hello.

I'm new to the forum, as I have just obtained my first redfoot tortoises. I have a couple questions (thanks in advance for your help):



1) They are eating pretty well from a recommended diet; how often should they poop? They pooped the first day we had them (last Sunday, Oct 14), and have not pooped since that we can tell. They are still eating.



2)I live in Fl (temps in the 90s with high humidity lately) and they have mostly been outside. When inside, they have a light which provides a high level of uvb light, and are not subjected to temperatures below 75-80 degrees. We have sprayed them occassionally. Does it sound like they have a humid enough environment? They also have a water dish for soaking and drinking.



3) for humidity, do any of yall use cigar humidor humidifiers? Are they safe? Do they make the environment humid enough?



Thanks all



Steph
