I'd be curious to see his set-up. Since redfoots are "forest" torts they need very little light so you heat with "heat-emitters" over their "humid hide". Place the thermometers at ground level [ where they live ] and maintain mid-upper 80's in their hide. The enclosure needs to have a full cover to maintain the proper humidity.



Email me from my website in my signature and I'll get you detailed [ with pics ] info on how to set-up like we're talking about.
