I have two juvenile redfoots. One end of the tort table has a heat emitter that keeps it 85 and the other end is 72. Seems like they spend all their time at the cool end. Including sleeping in the cool side. Is there any need to keep the warm side heat source on? Humidity is 75% and the substrate is cypress mulch, and basking lamp is on 10 hours per day but never under it. UV light on 10 hours.

The warm end is a little too hot for small RFs. Try lowering the temp to about 82 and increase the humidity if you can. Or provide an area that is more humid and secluded for them.
