Hey there! I keep 1.3 redfoots in Georgia. I currently have a 10x10 outdoor cage I will post pics of later.

I have some questions though.. I have read over feeding may lead to pyramiding? The adults I bought do have some. Some more than others. The growth I have seen while they have been with me has been pretty smooth though. So how much is too much for an adult? Food wise.

Also, I was wondering how to "condition" the shells and skin of my redfoots. I soak them once a week in about two inches of water but their scales seem dry and I would like their shells to look a little prettier. Is there anything I can apply that is not harmful, or are there foods that help the skin more? Also, may it be a sign of low humidity.

Thanks!! I hope to meet some cool people here, feel free to AIM me if you want to talk redfoots!
