Hi,

Ive owned a couple of redfoots for the last couple of months and ive had the same prob.

23% is very low and ill bet that if you look at the guy his eyes are watering. I originaly made an open top tortoise table and like you could only keep the humidity up around 23-30. i since have built a top of plywood and lexan and installed a big apple mister. i now have a humidity of 75% most of the time. I am using mulch as a bedding which seems to hold the moister pretty well(better than the peat moss i had originaly). I think the most important thing is to get the hides humidity up. Im sure he spends most of his time there so at least if that is up he will be doing better. just get a flowwer pot of tupperware container and put some spagnum moss in it, mistit a few times a day and you will see that it keeps the humidity up well. I also soak mine for 15 mins every day. One great thing ive noticed about this is that they always seem to go to the bathroom when i soak them...this means that the enclosure is not getting dirty!

I would highly recommend going to www.redfoots.com. Lots of great no nonsense info there.

good luck!
